Hi,
someone knows what mean the small Y left to the airspeed strip on the Garmin G3000 primary flight display. I found this Y at about 270 knots.
Thanks

I am not seeing it in here: https://static.garmin.com/pumac/190-02046-02_a.pdf

Do you have a screen print of it?

Hi @MarkRWatney now I have a takeoff planned with ivao and later I will post a screenshot.
Thanks

I believe these are V speeds. X=v1, Y=opitmum climb

Page 68 of that document I provided above has the “Y” displayed on it. Approach Reference? I’m not a pilot so me-no-no.

Approach at 270 knots ?

That marking is for your Best Rate of Climb airspeed, also known as V_Y. But no airplane in the sim has a best rate of climb airspeed of 272 kts. So something probably got changed on the “Speed Bugs” section of the Garmin Touch Controller. Should be set closer to 123 kts, if you are using the TBM.

Hi,
thanks all.
Finally I found VY in speedbugs.
270 knots make sense for longitude.

Ok,
there is a lot of V’s to explore.

Bye
