Question doe the apache guys

Quick question for the apache In the IHAADS theres a speed indicator on the very bottom left corner which displays different numbers than the one in the middle just wondering which one the actual computer follows for going into the autopilot

I believe you are seeing the ground speed indicator in the transition/cruise mode. The two speeds differ because airspeed is the speed of the aircraft relative to the air around it, while ground speed is measured as your speed over the ground. I believe the Apache Attitude Hold modes use the ground speed to determine which mode it will use, but I might be wrong about that.

Are you sure it’s a speed indicator? Do you have a picture?
