AIRSPEED INDICATOR

Refer to the Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) for
NOTE:
speed criteria and Vspeed values.
The Airspeed Indicator displays airspeed on a rolling number gauge using a moving tape. The true airspeed
(TAS) is displayed in knots below the Airspeed Indicator. When displayed, the Mach number appears in place
of the TAS. The ground speed is displayed to the left of the TAS. 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
at intervals of 5 knots. Speed indication starts at 20 knots, with 60 knots of airspeed viewable at any time. The
actual airspeed is displayed inside the black pointer. The pointer remains black until reaching the high airspeed
limit, at which point it turns red.

speed warning range, represented on the airspeed tape by red/white "barber pole" coloration.
A red low speed awareness range extends up to the low speed awareness velocity, V
is generated as the aircraft approaches a stall condition.
The Airspeed Trend Vector is a vertical, magenta line, extending up or down on the airspeed scale, located
to the right of the color-coded speed range strip. The end of the trend vector displays approximately what
airspeed will be reached in 6 seconds if the current acceleration is maintained. If the trend vector crosses
V /M , the text of the actual airspeed readout changes to yellow while the pointer remains black. The trend

vector is absent if the speed remains constant or if any data needed to calculate airspeed is not available due to
a system failure.
