In GA planes your change in ref speed is going to be pretty negligible with change of weight.So we are now adopting V-speeds from Jets? Vr and Vref as example? What about a V1-cut?
How many GA planes really "rotate"? Is this a good habit to get into?
Same thing for Vref. How many pilots really calculate and change the approach speed based on current weight?

@Hank S
There is no Vr there. There is a range of speed....
And same for Vref.
There are many admirable things to take from the Part 121 world. Vr and Vref really are not on the list.
