What is the LG Retraction (Vlo) speed?

LG Retraction speed is the maximum indicated airspeed at which you can safely retract the landing gear. It protects the gear doors and actuators from overspeed and possible improper gear deployment. For this aircraft, the published retraction limit is 166 knots, so gear retraction should be completed below that speed to maintain a safe margin. The other numbers either exceed this limit or are far too low for normal takeoff/climb operations, so they aren’t suitable retraction speeds.
