Flaps Extended Max "G" Loading is which range?

Flaps Extended Max "G" Loading is which range?

• A. 0.0 to 2.0 G
• B. -1.0 to 2.5 G
• C. 0.5 to 2.5 G
• D. 0.0 to 2.5 G

Answer: (A)

Load factor is the multiple of the aircraft’s weight that the airframe can safely carry. When flaps are extended, the wing and flap system are in a configuration that is optimized for lower speeds but is more sensitive to structural loads, especially during gusts or abrupt maneuvers. In this setup, the airframe is allowed to experience positive loads up to about 2.0 G, but it is not permitted to experience negative (downward) load factors. That’s why the approved range is 0.0 to 2.0 G: you can.load up to a second gravity of lift, but you cannot unload the wings into negative G while flaps are extended. The other ranges either include negative G, start too high, or go beyond the supported upper limit for this configuration.
