What is the limitation for the T-6's flaps during flight?

The T-6 aircraft has specific operational limits to ensure safe and effective flight maneuvers. One of the critical limitations regarding the use of flaps during flight is that they should not be extended above a speed of 150 knots. Extending the flaps beyond this speed could induce structural stress on the wing or lead to adverse aerodynamic effects, potentially compromising the aircraft's performance and safety.

This limitation is in place because extending flaps increases drag and alters the lift characteristics of the aircraft, which can become problematic at higher airspeeds. By adhering to this limit, pilots can maintain better control and ensure the aircraft's aerodynamics remain stable during operations requiring flap extension. Understanding and following this operational limit is crucial for all T-6 pilots to ensure safety and performance integrity during flight.
