Huh?
Atsiii,
I think these guys got caught up in there "Vle" and "Vne" but never really did clarify things for you... Hey you guys, turn off that stupid tube, will ya? You ever look at the hinges on those clam-buckets hanging out the back? On the P-models, 140 Knots is the absolute MAXIMUM indicated airspeed those puppies can be cycled, but it would he a whole lot easier on the machine and the metal if you cycled the gear at a lower speed. But if you want to rip the hinges off, go right ahead and run everything to the MAX. But better to error on the side of caution.
Once the gear on the Skymaster is extended, THEN you can run it up to Vne in calm air... but why push it and stress the bird? I've always found that it's better to be in the lower end of the yellow, than on the upper end near red.
Also, if the gear is down and you need to suck it up... better be below 140 KIAS, or surprise, surprise, you'll come home with bent metal.
Now, what was that Vfe.....hhhmmmmm
