Speed Indication
The numeric labels and major tick marks on the moving
tape are marked at intervals of 10 knots, while minor tick
marks on the moving tape are indicated in intervals of 5
knots. Speed indication starts at 20 knots, with 60 knots
of airspeed viewable at one time. The actual airspeed is
displayed inside the black pointer. The pointer remains
black until reaching never-exceed speed (V
