What is the maximum airspeed for approach in normal landing configuration?

The maximum airspeed for approach in the normal landing configuration for the CRJ 900 is 165 knots. This speed is crucial for ensuring that the aircraft can maintain control and respond effectively to any changes in conditions as it approaches the runway. Operating at or below this airspeed helps prevent high-speed landing impacts and allows pilots to better manage their descent, rate of descent, and approach parameters, which are essential for a safe landing.

Maintaining the maximum approach speed also provides a margin of safety, allowing pilots to handle scenarios such as wind shear or unexpected turbulence that may occur during landing. Therefore, understanding this limitation is essential for pilots to ensure operational compliance and enhance safety during flight operations.
