Va= manouver speed (memory is fuzzy on this but I think it is the maximum speed at which an abrupt control input can be made)

POH= pilots operating handbook (pilots manual)

There is only one interesting speed - Vne

I tend to be flying at Mmo most of the time in real life that is.

I discovered the gliding capability of HE-111 while having failed both engines through inadapted cooling (sigh).

Its gliding aptitude is unusually good, I expect a FM issue. It goes like a bird without any power.

All aircraft can glide even the space shuttle...some jets are not so good at it.

You are 99% correct, it's the indicated airspeed limit for full control deflection. Above that speed, using full control deflection can overstress the airframe.
