AIRSPEED INDICATOR

NOTE: Refer to the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) for speed criteria.

The Airspeed Indicator displays airspeed on a rolling number gauge using a moving tape. The true airspeed

is displayed in knots below the Airspeed Indicator.

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 never-exceed speed (V

), at which point it turns red.

SPEED AWARENESS RANGES

A color-coded (white, green, yellow, and red) speed range strip is located on the moving tape. The colors

denote ﬂaps operating range, normal operating range, caution range, and never-exceed speed (V

). A red

range is also present for low speed awareness.

AIRSPEED TREND VECTOR

The Airspeed Trend Vector is a vertical, magenta line, extending up or down on the airspeed scale, shown

to the right of the color-coded speed range strip. The end of the trend vector corresponds to the predicted

airspeed in 6 seconds if the current rate of acceleration is maintained. If the trend vector crosses V

, the text

of the actual airspeed readout changes to yellow. 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.
