I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned this. Qantas boeing crew use RGS or reference ground speed. It basically provides them with a ground speed they don't go below. Works well.
Has anyone corrected this yet?....
Inertia, also known as momentum, is Mass * Velocity.
Come on Wiz....inertia has nout to do with velocity, you know that! It stays the same regardless of velocity.
