What is the maximum landing gear retraction speed?

The maximum landing gear retraction speed is critical for ensuring safe operation of the aircraft during the transition from the landing to climb phase. Landing gear retraction at higher speeds than specified can lead to structural damage or operational issues, such as a failure to retract properly.

In this case, the maximum landing gear retraction speed being set at 200 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS) is based on aircraft performance specifications that balance various factors, including aerodynamic stability and control during this phase of flight. Exceeding this speed could compromise these factors, making it imperative for pilots to adhere to the defined speed limit for gear retraction.

Other options represent speeds that surpass the established maximum for gear retraction, which could endanger the aircraft's structural integrity and lead to unsafe flight conditions. The setting at 200 KIAS as the maximum is a guideline provided by the manufacturer based on extensive testing and operational safety assessments.
