where to find the crucial airspeeds for the apache?

After this tutorial

I went to search but my google skills failed. These data are not in the manual and there isn't even a chucks guide for the apache. Does anyone have a link for this kind of info?

These are normally detailed in charts because it varies depending on conditions. Fuel load, weapons, gross weight, air temp, altitude, etc. The PERF page will eventually give real-time data for these figures.

Nominally, max endurance will be 60-90 KTAS, max range 120-130 KTAS. Can't help for other figures like max climb and best climb angle.

I don't understand this Vx thing. Isn't the best climb angle for tight spaces 90° up? Infinite height for 0m over the ground, basically altitude/distance, but distance = 0.

Because sometimes you don't have power for OGE hover. So you need forward airspeed. And there will be an airspeed where you have enough forward to climb but not so much forward that you lose climb angle.

Max rate of climb is same airspeed as best endurance but with the rest of your available power applied. @NeedzWD40

Yes, and for a helicopter vx could be zero airspeed, but like swift said sometimes that power isn’t available.
