AIRSPEED INDICATOR
NOTE: Refer to the Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) for speed criteria and Vspeed values.
The Airspeed Indicator displays airspeed on a moving tape rolling number gauge. The numeric labels and
major tick marks on the moving tape are shown at intervals of 10 knots. The minor tick marks on the moving
tape are shown at intervals of five knots. Speed indication starts at 20 knots, with 56 knots of airspeed viewable
at any time. The indicated airspeed is displayed inside the black pointer. The pointer remains black until
reaching the never-exceed speed (V NE
), at which point it turns red. The true airspeed is displayed in knots
below the Airspeed Indicator. The Ground Speed appears in knots to the left of the true airspeed.

Color coded stripes appear on the Airspeed Indicator to show the operating ranges. The low speed range
stripe is red. Normal operating range is green, caution range is amber, and the never exceed speed (V NE
) begins
with a red and white barber pole. The flap operating range is indicated by a white stripe.
A red low speed awareness band extends up to the low speed awareness velocity, V LSA .
NOTE: The ice protection system (optional) must be operated in accordance with the approved flight manual
limitations. This option is only available in SR22 models.
