VsO
Power-off stall speed at MAX GROSS WEIGHT, gear down, & full flaps (everything hanging out).
BOTTOM of the WHITE ARC..
Vs1
Power-off stall speed at MAX GROSS WEIGHT with gear and flaps retracted.
BOTTOM of the GREEN ARC.
***************************
Vs is the Velocity (V) of the Stall (s), or minimum steady flight speed for which the aircraft is still controllable.
As a memory aid, Vs1 is the Velocity (V) of the Stall (s) with everything Inside (1 looks like the letter i for inside). This is the Stall speed or minimum steady flight speed for which the aircraft is still controllable in a specific configuration.
The lower ends of the Green Arc and the White Arc depict the stalling speed with wing flaps retracted (Vs1), and stalling speed with wing flaps fully extended (Vs0), respectively. These Vs (Velocity of Stall) speeds are the stalling speeds for the aircraft at its maximum weight.
Vfe
Maximum Flaps-Extended Speed
TOP of the WHITE ARC.
**********************************
This is referred to as Vfe for Velocity (V) with Flaps (f) Extended (e). This represents the maximum airspeed at which you may extend the flaps, or fly with them extended. The flaps may not be used above this range (White Arc) or possible structural damage may occur to the aircraft.
