007 helicopter

Quote;-The only emergency landing I have made with all fire engines out etc was when the front nose gear hydraulic ram sheared and the front nose wheel would not lock in and was just hanging down limply, fortunately before landing when we slowed right down gravity allowed it to lock in.

Most light aircraft have a max speed to freefall the gear, I am interested to know if a speed is quoted in the Piper PoH ?
