  1. read the POH


  2. The white arc on the ASI shows the safe operating speeds for flaps.

  3. In the L-1011 we had all those stupid "bugs" that you had to slide around and the speed would fall to close to each other and the space of the bugs wouldn't allow it.. so you basically lumped them together.. and you transitioned through the speed so fast anyway.. that it rarely mattered. Then one of the bugs would fall off.. and you would be crawling around looking for it..  what a pain...  of course... everytime we had a new hire f/a that was hot.. we would drop all kinds of things and have her help find them...

  4. As the previous answers say, there is a white arc on the ASI.  On some aircraft there is a placard with the speed limits for the different flap settings too.

  5. white arc

  6. transport category aircraft have no flap speed markings on the asi. as with landing gear speeds, just better know em.

  7. The white arc is for steam gage light aircraft. Glass cockpit indications are different, and transport category aircraft have no such markings or, if glass, might have "carets" or other transient, electronically generated markings or displays (such as "inverse video"), depending on aircraft configuration and speed.  If you think "white arc" is the correct answer, you're describing a narrow segment of aircraft.

  8. I do not the answer to this question but I suspect the asker does
