I don't have them offhand, unfortunately, but I believe the v speeds don't change a whole bunch with weight. Usually you rotate around 95 and lift off around 100 to 105. Normal climb is about 160. Approach is 140 down to 120, and cross the fence at about 95 to 100. These numbers should be pretty close for medium to heavy loads. At very light loads, you probably want to keep these numbers anyway just for a bit of extra leeway, but if the runway is really tight, then maybe go 5 kts lower all around. I'll see if I can find anything out on Monday (I work on Dash 8 equipment).Glenn
