What is the minimum controlled airspeed with the landing gear extended?

The minimum controlled airspeed with the landing gear extended is 130 KIAS. This airspeed is crucial for ensuring the aircraft's controllability during critical phases of flight, especially during approaches and landings.

At this speed, the King Air 350 maintains sufficient airflow over the control surfaces, which enhances stability and control responsiveness. It's particularly important during scenarios like go-arounds or tight turns, where a lack of control can lead to adverse situations. Operating below this speed with the landing gear extended could compromise the pilot's ability to maintain proper aircraft control, potentially leading to stall conditions.

Understanding this limitation is essential for pilots to operate safely within the aircraft's performance envelope and make informed decisions during landing and approach phases.
