Speeds
- VAManoeuvring speedBelow it, a full control deflection will not overstress the airframe (at maximum weight).
- 202 kt
- VFEMax flaps extendedHighest speed with flaps down. Top of the white arc.
- 177–183 kt
- VLEMax gear extendedHighest speed with the landing gear down.
- 185 kt
- VMOMax operating speedSpeed limit of a turbine aircraft in knots; higher up, the Mach limit (MMO) applies instead.
- 260 kt
A range runs from light to maximum weight, or across the flap settings for VFE. The exact speed depends on weight, flaps and conditions.
