You know, around where I live the police have been cautioned by the authorities (!) that they have to suspend their speed camera operation if they notice a traffic jam forming in front of their camera.


Maybe it's just me, but when the winds are gusty on final approach, the speed tape's bouncing around made it difficult for me to ascertain my airspeed because the digits just became a blur.

This is on the 777 and I'm old, so that may explain it.
Maybe it helps not to focus on the digits but on the analog display of the speedbug. The same speedbug that we have been flying around with on non-EFIS aircraft. It's interesting to note that Airbus aircraft do not have this 'nervous' readout of digital airspeed on the PFD.
