Vne (Never-Exceed Speed)
The maximum speed the aircraft is permitted to attain in any phase of flight, marked as a red radial line on the airspeed indicator. Exceeding Vne risks structural failure due to aerodynamic loads or flutter. Pilots must ensure they never exceed this speed, even in a dive or during turbulence recovery. The aircraft is not designed or tested for flight at or above Vne.
