What is the flap limiting speed at 15°?
150 kts
What is the flap limiting speed at 25° or 40°
140 kts
What is the gear limiting speed?
130kts for operation and flight with gear down
When will the landing gear warning horn sound?
With power below 12” of manifold pressure & gear selector in the up position.
What is used to increase the visibility of the ground towing collar being fitted?
A flag attached to the pitot tube
What engine is the critical engine and why?
The left hand engine is critical engine as the thrust is more central and reduces yaw in an engine fail. Downward blade produces more thrust. msg me if someone has a better answer to this
