Vref speed is defined as?

• A. Approach speed
• B. Landing reference speed
• C. Stall speed
• D. Takeoff reference speed

Answer: (B)

Vref is the landing reference speed—the target speed you aim to fly on final approach in the landing configuration. This speed is chosen based on weight and aircraft configuration to provide a safe stall margin in normal and gusty conditions, and it’s the speed used as the reference for landing performance and planning. It’s typically higher than stall speed (often related to Vs in the landing configuration, sometimes with a gust margin added), and it’s distinct from takeoff reference speeds or generic approach speeds.
