| The plane's clamshell airbrakes at the back of the fuselage keep airspeed from rising uncontrollably during the dive. |
| A no-flap approach was flown with a 220,000 lb gross weight, flying at 198 knots indicated airspeed. |
| The enemy pilot had throttled back, reducing airspeed and flattening the spiral dive. |
| Begin with airspeed, and use the pointed handle of the true airspeed indicator as a speed bug for Vr, Vy or approach speed. |
| In reality, we control airspeed and altitude with the coordinated use of both pitch and power. |
| Also, due to the static port's position, many airspeed indicators are inaccurate during a slip. |
