What is the maximum airspeed allowed with the gear and/or flaps extended?

The maximum airspeed allowed with the gear and/or flaps extended is 150 KIAS. This limit is significant because it ensures safe operation of the aircraft in configurations that involve the gear and flaps. When the gear is extended, or the flaps are deployed, the aircraft’s aerodynamic characteristics change, which can affect performance and control. Exceeding this airspeed could risk structural integrity and lead to control difficulties. Adhering to this limit helps prevent damage to the aircraft and ensures that pilots maintain a safe operating envelope during critical phases of flight, such as landing and takeoff. Proper awareness of such limits is vital for safe flight operations and effective handling of the aircraft in various configurations.
