    1941 Taylorcraft BC12-65D Vh speed?

    I am trying to determine the Vh speed for a 1941 Taylocraft BC12-65D for the purpose of the greater than or less than 87 knot endorsement for sport pilot certificate. Anyone know this one or how to accurately determine the Vh?

    As a starter, I would google "TCDS" and "BC12-65D". You should open "A-696" the Type Certificate Data Sheet for the Taylorcraft BC-12 family. In there you will find the maximum airspeed in level flight. I realize that this is not exactly Vh, but it should give you starting point. Pete

    If you get a definitive answer, please let us know. If it's less, good... if it's greater, as I understand it even though I have a PPL I can't fly, say, a Quicksilver without an endorsement (even though I have lots of ultralight time) if I don't have a current medical?

    Mine would cruise 95 at 2150 rpm with the windows closed in smooth air, but only if I dove a bit to get it on the "step"... it wouldn't accelerate to 95 in level flight.

    Check in with taylorcraft.org for all the info there is on t-craft. All 65 hp b model t-crafts can be flown by sport pilot rated aviators. My daughter in law got her sport pilot licence flying a '41.
