What is the LG Extension (Vlo) speed?

Vlo is the maximum speed at which the landing gear may be extended or retracted. Extending or retracting the gear at speeds above this limit can prevent the gear from fully deploying, risk the gear not locking properly, and subject the hydraulic system and gear doors to unsafe loads. For this aircraft, the published LG Extension speed is 184 knots, so that value is the correct limit to use when planning gear operations. The other speeds aren’t the approved Vlo for this airplane.
