Vx vs Vy Climb Speed [Best angle climb vs best rate of climb explained in less than 3 minutes]

The Vx and the Vy, also called best angle and best rate climb, are two climb speeds.

Depending on your flight you may want to choose the Vx or the Vy for your climb.

The Vx is the best angle, this speed will make you reach your target altitude over the shortest distance.

The Vy is the best rate of climb, this speed will make you reach your target altitude over the shortest period of time.

So, let's make some examples in order to make the concept clear.

If you are approaching an obstacle the Vx is the speed you want to select for your climb because your priority is to climb higher using less ground distance and be clear of the obstacle.

If you are free of obstacles your priority may be to reach your target altitude in a shorter period of time in order to be more cost-efficient and burn less fuel, in this case, the Vy is your climb speed.

So, depending on your climb priority you may use the best angle or the best rate climb speed.
