On the other hand, the POH for the ASK-21 and for the DG500 both indicate that the Vne is rather like a TAS, so the Vne CAS decreases with altitude. The 120 kts. Vne limit for Light Sport Aircraft (14 CFR 1.1) is a CAS. It's all rather ridiculous. The normal cruising speed for gliders is 60 - 80 knots. Even if you have a 160 knot Vne, you very rarely go over 100 knots. The Vne is there mostly for safe recovery from upsets. Penalizing pilots for buying a safer, stronger aircraft is crazy.
