What does the lower limit of the white arc on an airspeed indicator represent?

Power-off stall speed in a landing configuration.

A possible result of using the emergency alternate source of static pressure inside the cabin of an unpressurized airplane is the

altimeter may indicate an altitude higher than the actual altitude being flown.

The most rapid accumulation of clear ice on an aircraft in flight may occur with temperatures between 0°C to -15°C in

cumuliform clouds.

For a multiengine airplane with reciprocating, non-turbocharged engines, V(MC)

decreases with altitude.

One advantage of a turbocharged airplane is the ability to maintain control over an engine's rated sea level horsepower from sea level until the

engine's critical altitude is reached.

A surface inversion can

produce poor visibility

Your are a recreational pilot with fewer than 400 hours. In order to log pilot in command time without having flown in the last 180 days, you must

receive flight training and a logbook endorsement from an authorized instructor.
