T-38C Talon Operations Limits Practice Test

For flaps Over 60%, what is the specified KCAS?

220 KCAS 300 KCAS 240 KCAS 50 KCAS

Correct Answer:

220 KCAS

Explanation:

When flaps are extended more than 60%, the aircraft’s structural and flap-system limits require a lower maximum indicated airspeed to keep the wing and flaps within safe loads. In this configuration, the published maximum KCAS is 220. Exceeding that speed risks flap overspeed, excessive loads on the flap hinges, and possible control issues, so you must stay at or below 220 KCAS with flaps over 60%. The other speeds listed aren’t the established limit for this flap setting, making 220 KCAS the correct value here.
