The minimum flight condition (MFC) speed associated with the approach speed for landing with flaps is 60 KIAS.

The minimum flight condition (MFC) speed associated with the approach speed for landing with flaps is 60 KIAS.

• A. 55 KIAS
• B. 64 KIAS
• C. 52 KIAS
• D. 60 KIAS

Answer: (D)

The minimum flight condition speed is the lowest speed at which the airplane can be safely flown with the current configuration, guaranteeing enough stall margin and controllability. For landing with flaps, the published approach speed defines the safe target for that phase, and the MFC is set to that value rather than any lower or higher number. Therefore, the MFC speed associated with the approach speed for landing with flaps is 60 KIAS. Maintaining at or above this speed keeps you within safe margins with flaps extended; speeds below would reduce stall margin and controllability, while higher speeds exceed the defined minimum for this condition.
