If the ASI is still out on final approach, add GPS ground-speed into your scan for a rough idea of IAS. You can guess the wind effect and unless you are at high elevations ignore the difference between TAS and IAS because at bugsmasher approach speeds near sea level they are not that far apart.
This is probably a question outside the scope of a normal I.R. renewal, but a very good one. Far more use than knowing the lobe frequencies of the ILS.
How is that outside the scope of a normal IR renewal? The ATO covered up the ASI on my GFPT and asked me that question (I was in a decently equipped Warrior and my method to resolve the situation was the same).
