What is the maximum landing gear operating/extended speed?

• A. 250 kts
• B. 230 kts
• C. 210 kts
• D. 240 kts

Answer: (B)

The speed limit for landing gear in both operation (extending/retracting) and when the gear is extended is a published safeguard to protect the gear system and doors from excessive aerodynamic loads during cycling or while the gear is down. For the Citation Longitude, that limit is 230 knots. This means you must not exceed 230 knots with the gear down or during a gear cycle, or you risk gear/door damage or unreliable operation. The other speeds are either higher than this safe limit or, if lower, do not represent the maximum allowed speed for gear in transit or down.
