Airspeed relationships are always in terms of CAS. But, FAR-23 requires that the error full-range is never more than 5 kn, so unless it's 5 kn under-reading near the stall, and 5 kn over-reading on approach, it doesn't really explain why the published approach figure is so high.

Anybody here got any contacts at Cessna ?
