Which value corresponds to Vfe 2?

Which value corresponds to Vfe 2?

• A. 215 knots
• B. 200 knots
• C. 180 knots
• D. 165 knots

Answer: (A)

Vfe is the maximum speed you can fly with the wings in a given flap extension. Each flap setting has its own published Vfe. For the ERJ 175, the flap setting 2 corresponds to a Vfe of 215 knots, which sits higher than the speeds associated with more extended flaps and lower than a clean configuration. The other numbers represent limits for different, more or less extended flap configurations, so they don’t apply to flap 2. Therefore, 215 knots is the correct value for Vfe 2.
