What is the maximum indicated airspeed for Flaps 2?

• A. 230 kts
• B. 210 kts
• C. 250 kts
• D. 180 kts

Answer: (A)

A flap limit speed is the maximum indicated airspeed you may safely fly with that flap setting. For Flaps 2 on the Longitude 700, that limit is 230 knots. Staying at or below this ensures the flaps extend and retract properly and that structural loads remain within design limits. Exceeding it can cause flap over‑speed, potential damage, or abnormal deployment. The other numbers correspond to either different flap settings or speeds outside the Flaps 2 limit, so 230 knots is the correct maximum for Flaps 2.
