CAT.OP.MPA.320 Aeroplane categories Regulation (EU) 2019/1384 (a) Aeroplane categories shall be based on the indicated airspeed at threshold (VAT) which is equal to the stalling speed (VSO) multiplied by 1,3 or one-g (gravity) stall speed (VS1g) multiplied by 1,23 in the landing configuration at the maximum certified landing mass. If both VSO and VS1g are available, the higher resulting VAT shall be used. (b) The aeroplane categories specified in the table below shall be used.
