I believe the NTSC briefing spoke of calibrated speed of 134 knots

I asked before, what is the chance that whilst 134 CAS was the true speed, that the indicated airspeed was substantially higher (and therefore giving the crew a false sense of security)?

Any opinions?

The reason I ask is that it must be quite exceptional if both pilots fail to notice this low speed
