Refer to Figure 4 on page 6.
Which color identifies the normal flap operating range?
  1. The Red line
  2. The yellow arc
  3. The white arc
  4. Where there is no colored arc
Explanation
Correct answer: C. The White Arc. The white arc on any airspeed indicator is the safe operating speed for flaps. Below the white arc, the flaps can be extended, but it will be too slow to improve lift. Above the white arc, the plane could sustain damage due to early extension of the flaps.
