What is the maximum speed for the CRJ 200 before the landing gear must be fully extended?

The maximum speed for the CRJ 200 before the landing gear must be fully extended is 200 KIAS. This limitation is crucial for ensuring the safety and integrity of the aircraft during the landing approach. Extending the landing gear at or below this speed helps mitigate the risk of potential structural or mechanical failures that could occur if the gear were extended at higher speeds. The landing gear is designed to withstand specific aerodynamic forces, and adhering to this speed limit ensures that these forces remain within safe operational parameters during the critical phase of the flight when the aircraft is transitioning to landing.
