What is the maximum speed at which the landing gear can be extended for the T-6A?

The maximum speed for extending the landing gear on the T-6A is specifically set at 180 KIAS (Knots Indicated Airspeed). This limitation is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity and proper function of the landing gear during deployment. Extending the gear at speeds higher than this limit could lead to malfunctions or damage due to the aerodynamic forces acting on the gear and its components.

Following operational guidelines, it is essential to respect this limitation to ensure a safe and smooth landing process, allowing the gear to fully deploy and lock in place. The design of the aircraft considers such operational limits to enhance safety and performance, and pilots are trained to adhere rigidly to these specifications during their flight operations.
