If you don't know where to find the ground speed you need refresher in the sim
If you have not heard of autothrottles ditto above
Thanks for illustrating my point. If the PF has time available to look at the GS on the panel then he or she could just as easily look at the much more relevant airspeed on their side. Scanning groundspeed for rotate point is about as useful as scanning groundspeed at 100' agl on final.

Yes there is an autothrottle system sometimes also referred to as autothrust but the levers in the cockpit/flightdeck/bridge/control room/reading room/pointy end are most definately called thrust levers or power levers by the jet manufacturers I am familiar with.

Anachronism anyone?
