Yeah it does get complicated, and even we have questions about it. Thankfully we get told what time we turn illegal. This helps too:

V1 is only really used in transport category multi engine airplanes, not basic light props. But by definition your V1 speed cannot be more than Vr (rotate).

14.02.2026 00:10 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Flaps extend to create a larger wing area and camber (shape of the wing)
Spoilers extend upwards to create drag and dump lift by disrupting airflow.
Ailerons counter each other (one goes up, other goes down)to roll the aircraft.
The Kania LOI is the closest thing you'll find but it says if you have intent to fly you can log it.
