What is the maximum landing gear retraction speed (Vlo RET)?

The maximum landing gear retraction speed, known as Vlo RET, is critical for ensuring safe operation of the aircraft during takeoff and climb phases. For the CRJ 200, the maximum landing gear retraction speed is indeed 200 KIAS. This speed is defined to prevent structural damage and to ensure the landing gear can be safely retracted without the risk of loss of control or mechanical failure.

Exceeding this speed while initiating gear retraction could lead to complications, including the potential for the gear not to fully retract or to experience abnormal gear operation. It is essential for pilots to be familiar with this limitation to maintain the aircraft's safety and operational integrity during flight.
