Undid the edit.
The multiple units in the ASI are very confusing,especially around the flap operating range where the numbers are crammed into a small area.
After a while you get to know where the needle is pointing, but at first rather confusing at the student early learning stage when you really need them!
Much better to have just one unit,mph or kts clearly marked.
There have been some very helpful and constructive replies to this thread.
Many thanks
