Some references list the VSO (40° flaps) for a PA28-161 at 44Kt, others list
it at 33Kt.That's a pretty big difference. The POH for the one I'm flying says
33Kt. I have a hard time trusting this - Anyone here regularly land their
Warrior at 40 KT (1.2VSO)?



My PA28-180 poweroff stall @ 40deg flaps is 57mph or 49kts.

Granted the Warrior is lighter (and since it is a -161) has a
different wing, but 33kts is really slow.

I think the only way a Warrior might fly @ 33kts, is a full-power
departure stall with 40deg of flaps. And even then, the 33kts would
be indicated, not calibrated.
