What is the maximum speed for landing gear extension in the T-6A?

The maximum speed for landing gear extension in the T-6A is 140 KIAS. This speed is a critical operating limit that ensures safe gear deployment without risking structural integrity or component malfunction. Extending the landing gear at or below this designated speed allows the aircraft to maintain control and stability during the gear transition.

Flying above this speed could lead to an increase in aerodynamic forces acting on the landing gear, which might result in potential damage to the gear mechanism or failure to properly extend the gear. It's important for pilots to understand and adhere to these limits to ensure the safety of the flight operation, particularly during the critical phases of approach and landing. The other speeds listed exceed the specified maximum for gear extension, making them inappropriate for safe landing gear deployment.
