Maybe in theory but not in real life, have seen the managed speed above 177 KTS on more than one occasion.
Ditto here. With wind speed above 60k the managed speed stays well above Vfe next for all flap configurations. The solutions are manual thrust or a/t selected speed and fly 1/2 headwind plus all gust to max 20k. Works for me.
G/S mini in high or gusty winds is like a lawn mower with a really defective governor.
