Course rules airspeed can be increased up to what value?

• A. 100 KIAS
• B. 120 KIAS
• C. 80 KIAS
• D. 90 KIAS

Answer: (B)

In course rules flight, an airspeed cap is set to keep turns predictable and the overall drill within safe, controlled margins. For this training pattern, the value you can increase airspeed to is 120 KIAS. This limit ensures you have enough stability and control authority to maintain the prescribed tracks and spacing, while staying within the designed performance envelope of the maneuver. Exceeding that limit would place you outside the published training parameters, making it harder to maintain precise altitude and headings or to manage spacing from other traffic and obstacles. The other speeds listed are lower than the cap, so they are permitted, but they do not represent the maximum you may reach under course rules.
