Pass, friend ..
The technology is now available to abandon the use of the IAS for the go/ no-go decision
Been the case for a great many years .. but the ASI is still a simple predictor .. especially if one has runway marker boards or uses the stopwatch to monitor acceleration.
Typical tollerances on speed indicators are +/- 3kts that is a spread of 6 kts. Throw that in the RTOW computer and you will see what happens.
