What is the maximum airspeed for landing with the gear not extended?

The maximum airspeed for landing with the gear not extended is 250 knots. This limitation is crucial for ensuring safe operations because if the aircraft is flown at speeds above this limit with the landing gear retracted, it can lead to structural stress and potential damage to the aircraft.

When the landing gear is not extended, the aircraft is in a configuration that is not designed to handle the increased aerodynamic forces associated with higher speeds. The 250-knot limitation is established to protect the integrity and performance of the aircraft, as it allows sufficient time to deploy the landing gear safely without exceeding the operational limits of the aircraft's systems and structure.

Operating above this speed with the landing gear not extended can compromise the aircraft's ability to successfully and safely land, highlighting the importance of adhering to this specific airspeed limitation.
