What is the Vfe speed with flaps 2?

• A. 180
• B. 200
• C. 210
• D. 195

Answer: (B)

Vfe is the maximum speed at which you may fly with the flaps extended to the current setting. With flaps set to 2, the airplane’s limitations specify a Vfe of 200 knots. This limit protects the flap mechanism and wing structure from overstress while the flaps are deployed, ensuring safe deployment, extension, and control effectiveness during approach or landing. In practice, you’ll configure for approach with flaps 2 and keep airspeed at or below 200 knots to stay within the published limitation. The other numbers aren’t the published limit for this flap setting; they either correspond to different flap positions or aren’t the official maximum speed for flaps 2. Always verify Vfe values in the airplane’s limitations/POH for the exact model.
