AIRSPEED INDICATOR
The Airspeed Indicator displays airspeed on a rolling
number gauge using a moving tape. The following
information is also displayed:
• Speed indication
• Speed ranges
• Airspeed Trend Vector
• Vspeed references
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 at 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
NE
), at which
point it turns red.
Speed 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
NE
). A red range
is also present for low speed awareness. Refer to the
Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) for speed criteria.
Airspeed Trend Vector
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 six seconds if the current rate of acceleration is
maintained. 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.
Vspeed References
Vspeeds are set using the TMR/REF softkey. Glide, V
R
,
V
X
, and V
Y
are shown in the References Window. When
active (ON), the Vspeeds are displayed at their respective
locations to the right of the airspeed scale (refer to the
Auxiliary Windows portion of this Flight Instruments
section for setting and displaying Vspeeds).
True Airspeed Box
The True Airspeed Box is located below the Airspeed
Indicator and displays the true airspeed in knots.
