What is the recommended maximum speed for approach with flaps extended?

The recommended maximum speed for approach with flaps extended in the Dassault Falcon 7X is set at 200 knots. This speed is specifically defined to ensure safe handling characteristics during the critical phase of landing. As pilots configure the aircraft for landing, it is crucial to have a manageable speed that allows for smooth control of the aircraft, particularly as changes in flap configuration are made.

Flying at or below 200 knots during the approach helps to maintain optimal aerodynamic behavior, reduces the risk of running into issues associated with excessive speed, such as difficulties in managing descent rates or responding to unexpected changes in wind patterns. Moreover, flying within this speed limit also aligns with the aircraft's performance capabilities, allowing for effective use of lift and control surfaces, thereby enhancing safety margins.

Other choices present higher speeds that, while still potentially manageable, may compromise the ability to execute a safe and stable landing. These increased speeds can lead to an increased stall margin which complicates landing maneuvers and could become problematic during the approach phase. Hence, adhering to the prescribed maximum speed ensures not only regulatory compliance but also optimum operational safety.
