Olendirk - you certainly keep on coming up with strange questions.

FORGET ground speed. On the 737 (all types) we fly IAS. Adjust power to maintain the correct/desired IAS with changing wind - it is not difficult and we have been doing it for over 100 years. No 'black magic computers', just basic flying skills.
so many guys say you can fly a constant ground speed. but how?
- ignore them - they are mad.

IF you choose to do it, the info is on your EFIS, but I suspect any Captain with half a brain would then take control and have you sectioned - I would.

ERADICATE Airbus from your vocabulary until you need to speak it.
