Using Trend Indicators
Use the trend indicators to capture and maintain a desired airspeed
and altitude by adjusting the pitch and/or power to the airspeed or
altitude you want. This results in a smooth capture of the desired
airspeed and altitude.

indicator displays the predicted airspeed six seconds into the
future at the current rate of change. The Airspeed Trend Indicator
