'Procedural use of flaps' Hawker 800XP
 

Hello,

I am looking for the correct understanding of the limitation connected to the statement;

'Procedural Use of Flaps 15° for Descent and Holding.

The maximum airspeed for procedural use of flaps 15° for descent and holding is 220 KIAS. The maximum altitude for use is 15,000 ft. Such use of wing flaps is not permitted in icing
conditions.'

The general limitation for flap and gear is 20,000ft. Does this limitation relate to procedural approach or something else?

IIRC the structural certification (gust responce?) has different assumptions between procedural 'holding' use of flaps, and other uses. Thus there could be different speed/altitude limits.
In my previous aircraft this was interpreted as a holding speed limit only, but the 125 appears also to limit use during descent.
