Speed limit, LE flaps and slats
Hey guys
We have a speed restriction on the 737-800 on departure of 230 kts. with the LE flaps and slats extended.
On approach you may extend the LE flaps and slats if you're below 250 kts.
Why is there different speeds here?
Is it because the LE flaps and slats can only handle 230 kts. during retraction?
