Vapr or Vref whatever you prefer is typically 1.3*Vso.
That means on your PA-12 your Vso is around 58 if you were told Vref was 75.

I don't fly a PA-12, but this is the formula for most small aircraft.

Then remember that Vref goes down 5% for every 10% decrease in gross weight.

Hi

I am hoping there are some PA-12 pilots out there. I was wondering what
speed you use on final. I did all of my private in the PA-12 and was
taught to be at 75 mph on final but I can't find any specific reference
to the speed.

Thanks.

Tom
