What is the speed flown in the no flap configuration during the level speed change?

In a no flap configuration during a level speed change in the T-6B, the appropriate speed to fly is 120 KIAS. This speed is selected because it allows for a stable reference point for conducting maneuvers while maintaining control and performance in the aircraft without the additional lift or drag that flaps provide.

Flying at 120 KIAS aids in ensuring that the aircraft remains in a safe operating envelope during speed changes, which is crucial for maintaining effective control authority. Additionally, this speed is within the normal operating range for the T-6B, making it optimal for adjustments needed during training exercises and maneuvers.

Understanding the rationale behind flying at 120 KIAS helps cadets develop a solid foundation for speed management during flight operations, which is a vital skill for both training and practical applications in a variety of flight scenarios.
