What is the maximum airspeed for extending the landing gear?

The maximum airspeed for extending the landing gear in the T-6A is 150 knots. This limit is established to ensure safe operation of the landing gear mechanisms and to minimize the risk of structural damage when the gear is deployed. Beyond this airspeed, the forces acting on the landing gear components may exceed their design limits, potentially leading to malfunction or failure during extension. Maintaining this speed ensures that the landing gear can be safely and effectively extended under normal operating conditions, contributing to overall flight safety during critical phases of flight, such as landing.
