While looking over some aircraft checkout exams for the Arrow, I came across this question...

The true airspeed with gear down is approximately ____ % of the gear retracted speed for any given power setting.

a. 50
b. 75
c. 90

I've checked through my own POH and have not found anything that mentions speeds when gear down as a percentage of gear up speeds. However, I'm guessing 75% is correct.

Anyone seen this in their POH?
