Speed Ranges
The color coded speed range strip denotes flaps
operating range, normal operating range, and never
exceed speed (Vne). A red range is also present for low
speed awareness. Refer to the Pilot’s Operating Handbook
(POH) for airspeed limitations and indicator markings.
Airspeed Trend Vector
The end of the trend vector displays approximately
what the airspeed will be in 6 seconds if the current rate
of acceleration/deceleration is maintained.

Timer/References Window. Press the
TMR/REF Softkey
to display the widow. When active (ON), the Vspeeds are
displayed at their respective locations to the right of the
airspeed scale. To activate the Vspeed References, display
the Timer/Reference Window and turn the large FMS
