What does the POH say about the Cessna 152's landing gear and flap limits?

• A. It describes retractable landing gear with detailed flap cycles.
• B. It notes the fixed landing gear configuration and lists flap limits in the Limitations.
• C. It provides no information about landing gear or flaps.
• D. It states that flap limits are advisory and not part of Limitations.

Answer: (B)

In the POH, pilots look to know what parts of the airplane are fixed by design and what the operating envelopes are for different configurations. For the Cessna 152, the landing gear is fixed, not retractable, and that fact is stated in the Limitations section along with other critical limits. The same section also lists the flap limits—the maximum speeds for each flap setting and any other flap-related restrictions. These limits are part of the Limitations to define the safe operating envelope when using the flaps. So the correct statement reflects that the POH notes a fixed landing gear configuration and lists flap limits in the Limitations. The other options conflict with the aircraft’s actual design or with how the POH presents these limits.
