Which value corresponds to Flap - Landing (Vfe)?

Flap-landing speed is the maximum airspeed you may fly with the landing flap configuration extended. When flaps are down for landing, the wing can generate the needed lift at lower speeds, but the flap system and wing structure limit how fast you can go in that configuration. That limit is typically lower than other limits in the airplane’s envelope, so the value that matches the flap-landing condition will be the lowest speed shown. In this set, the flap-landing limit is 158 knots, which is why that value corresponds to Vfe for landing. The other numbers reflect limits for different configurations or higher-speed limits, not the landing-flap limit.
