Airspeed Indicator Gauge Colors Explained - MSFS 2020 / X-Plane - Knots mph speed

You may not be aware that the ASI Airspeed Indicator gauge in your standard six pack and on the Garmin g1000 g3000 tell you more information than just indicated airspeed. I break down some of the most important information provided in this quick video.

David, your videos are outstanding. Back in the Falcon 3.0 days, when video tutorial CD sets were released, I would have paid for a MSFS series by NOTAM. Your voice is easy to listen to, your instructions are clear and your production value is first-rate. Keep up the good work!

[@NOTAM1]

Thanks so much James, appreciate the kind words.

[@PlayingCatStevens]

Very concise and to the point. For anyone interested in reading about it as well, the old Mooney Ovation M20R pilot's operating handbook has an easily understandable explanation on general airspeed terminology laid out in section I on pages 5 through 6 as well as on the specific airspeed limitations of the aircraft as well as on general airspeed indicator markings in section II pages 3 through 4.

Thanks Leonard, great info.

[@rufrider8682]

Loving this and all of your helpful videos. Thanks as always, David.

[@NOTAM1]

Awesome, thanks ruf.

[@ZZstaff]

Thumbs up, thank you.

I didn't know about the red and blue lines on multi engine. Thanks! Also I like the channel name.

[@TheGbelcher]

Yeah, how is best rate of climb faster than max speed? No sense.

[@Rightnt]

@@TheGbelcher i think there was a mistake in the video text, if you listen he says minimum but the text says maximum

[@NOTAM1]

Awesome, thanks Rightnut.

[@NOTAM1]

@Greg Belcher, Rightnut has it right :), just made an error. Probably thinking of Vne when editing.

[@wrap239]

Great review presented well. Thanks!

[@NOTAM1]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks Parrot.

Can you do a similar episode on what all the coloured stripes and dots mean on the G1000's altitude and speed tapes? I've seen so many videos of people claiming they are showing everything about the G1000 but they never actually explain what the pink lines etc. are for.

[@NOTAM1]

Sure, that seems like a good topic. Will Queue it up.

4:17 The speed indicator on the left shows 2 speeds. Air speed / KTS / and .....TAS speed / KT / below. What is the difference? They don't show the same value! Thanks!
I found the difference! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_airspeed

[@lucywucyyy]

why do gauges go beyond the maximum?
not just airspeed but in all kinds of gauges, in cars too.
its something thats always confused me, if the never exceed speed is 160 why bother making the gauge go to 200?

[@aikidoshi007]

So that even at maximum value it is still well within its usable range and won't fail in normal circumstances

[@NOTAM1]

Thats a great answer steve, thanks.

[@NOTAM1]

I would have assumed also that they mass manufacture these gauges for aircraft within that range and just replace the template. That way you can use the same gauge for aircraft with v-refs that are only a few knots or up to that max difference, but Steve also had a logical answer.
