What is the maximum speed for extended landing gear in the ERJ 170/175?

The maximum speed for extended landing gear in the ERJ 170/175 is indeed 250 KIAS. This limitation is crucial for maintaining safe flight operations, as exceeding this speed with the landing gear deployed can lead to structural integrity issues or potential malfunctions. The landing gear is designed and certified to withstand aerodynamic loads up to this speed, ensuring that it remains operational and reliable during approach and landing phases. Adhering to this limitation is essential for the safety of the aircraft and its occupants, particularly during these critical phases of flight where configurations for landing are established. Understanding these limitations helps pilots make informed decisions, promoting a safe flying environment.
