Key Takeaways VLO is the max speed to extend or retract landing gear. VLE is the max speed to fly with gear extended. VLE is usually higher than VLO because moving gear at high speeds adds stress. You can check your POH or AFM for exact V-speeds. What Is the Difference Between VLE and VLO?

. […] There are many checks and balances which should catch a slip like this, as the wrong weight has serious consequences: not just that the airspeed is too high or low for rotation, but that all of the V-speeds are off, which affects go/no-go decisions. These V-speeds need to be calculated for every flight.
