What is the maximum indicated airspeed for Flaps Full?

• A. 180 kts
• B. 250 kts
• C. 230 kts
• D. 200 kts

Answer: (A)

This question tests understanding of VFE, the maximum indicated airspeed allowed with the flaps fully extended. When flaps are fully deployed, the wing and flap system experience higher loads, so there’s a defined speed limit to protect the mechanism and maintain safe handling. For the Citation Longitude, that flap-full limit is 180 knots indicated. So you should not exceed 180 knots with the flaps completely extended. Speeds like 200, 230, or 250 knots would go beyond this limit and could overstress the flaps or affect controllability, which is why they aren’t correct for this flap setting.
