What is the Vfe for flap setting 8?

Vfe, or the maximum flap extension speed, is the maximum airspeed at which flaps can be safely extended. For the CRJ 200, flaps can be set to various positions, and each position has a corresponding Vfe. When flaps are set to 8 degrees, the aircraft has a maximum flap extension speed of 215 KIAS. This means that the pilot should not exceed this speed when transitioning the flaps to the 8-degree setting to avoid potential structural damage to the wings or control surfaces due to excessive aerodynamic forces.

Understanding this limitation is crucial for safe flight operations, especially during critical phases of flight such as approach and landing, where flap settings are frequently used to manage the aircraft's speed and performance characteristics. The other speeds listed do not correspond to the specific flap setting of 8 degrees for the CRJ 200, emphasizing the importance of referring to the aircraft's operating manual or limitations for accurate information.
