What is the Vlo value?

• A. 210
• B. 200
• C. 215
• D. 220

Answer: (A)

VLO is the maximum speed at which you may operate the landing gear—extend or retract it—without risking damage to the gear doors or mechanisms. For this aircraft, the published limitation lists VLO as 210 knots, so that speed is the correct one to use when performing gear operation. Exceeding VLO could put excessive stress on the gear system and doors during deployment or retraction. VLO sits below the general operating limits like VMO/MMO and the flap-related speeds, and is separate from VLE, which is the maximum speed with the gear still extended and locked. This is why 210 knots is the best answer.
