Are there any ERJ-145 pilots out there that can give some common to/ga and approach speeds and power settings?and...Is there anyone out there that would know a formula for calculating airspeeds (such as V1, V2, Vref, Vlo, etc) for an aircraft when only the wing type, drag, thrust, and weight are known.I would love to be able to fly aircraft like the 145 by the numbers without having been given the actual numbesThanks,---John R.

John, if you do a search on the FS2K2 area of the Avsim File Library, you can find a panel for the E145 developed by Bill Grabowski, that has, I think, all the information you need.Regards, :-beerchugMarco Antonio SilvaBrazil
