Approach speed setting
I set up the approach speed bug for landing, but there are so many different speeds that I don't know which one to adopt. I have two triangle bug settings for the approach, but I don't know if it's Vref, Vga, Vapp or Vfly.
Also, do these speeds need to take the wind into account? I would like to know how to calculate the approach speed. Thank you!

Per Flybe, could be different with other operators:
Great resource!
I'm curious about the speed settings during takeoff and icing, and other things to consider. Can you show me more?
For TOff, in respect of the mass and the flaps setting, taken from the TOLD card in that order:
V1, Vr, V2, Vfri, Vclimb
Some adjustments depending of the altitude, Rwy conditions, application of icing fluid.
Icing conditions:
Set Vclimb bug+20. At acceleration altitude increase the speed to Vclimb+20 and then REF SPEEDS switch to INCR.
Hi,
Another airline operating the Q400 sets the bugs like this:
Take-Off
Landing:
