Stall speed of the Falcon 50?

Recommended Posts

I googled to no avail. Does anyone know?  Thank you.


Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space.
Software: latest Windows 10 Pro, P3Dv4.5+, FSX Steam, and lots of addons (100+ mostly Orbx stuff).

Found this:

Vmca   minimum control speed in flight................................. 82.5 kt (CAS)
Vmcg   minimum control speed on ground ........................... 87.5 kt (CAS)

From: From https://www.easa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/dfu/EASA-TCDS-A.062_Dassault_Falcon_MF50,_MF900,_F900EX-03-03072010.pdf

Note Vmca and Vmcg are minimum speeds at which a multi-engine a/c can  maintain directional control assuming the 'critical' engine inop and the other engine(s) at max power. I would assume at lower speeds the rudder is not sufficiently effective to maintain directional control. For the Falcon50, loss of engine 2 (middle engine) would not impact directional control. 

As for the version of the Falcon 50 modeled by FSW, I would just load it up to gross takeoff weight, climb up a few thousand feet, put out all the flaps and see how slow you can go.
