Vs0 (Stall Speed, Landing Configuration)

The stall speed or minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration, with flaps fully extended, gear down, and power at idle. Vs0 defines the lower limit of the white arc on the airspeed indicator. It is the slowest speed at which the aircraft can maintain controlled flight in its dirtiest configuration and is a baseline for calculating approach and landing reference speeds.
