What is the gear retraction time for the Falcon 2000LXS?

The gear retraction time for the Falcon 2000LXS is approximately 7 seconds. This timeframe is a standard specification for the aircraft, ensuring that the landing gear retracts in a controlled manner to maintain aircraft stability and aerodynamics after takeoff.

During this critical phase of flight, the time it takes for the landing gear to retract is designed to balance the aircraft's performance and the safety of the operation. A longer retraction time could potentially expose the aircraft to aerodynamic drag for too long, while a shorter time may not allow for proper retraction and locking of the gear.

Understanding this specification is essential for pilots to ensure they adhere to the aircraft's operational parameters during takeoff, optimizing performance while maintaining safety.
