The White arc on the airspeed indicator represents which range?

Airspeed indicator color bands show safe operating ranges, and the white arc specifically marks the flap operating range. It starts at Vs0, the stall speed with flaps down, and ends at Vfe, the maximum flap extension speed. Inside this arc you can extend flaps safely; below Vs0 you stall even with flaps down, and above Vfe you risk structural damage if flaps are still extended. So the white arc represents the flap operating range from stall speed to Vfe.
