Why do I ask these questions?   :>)

I started thinking about this and it occurred to me that this feature is
already there.   If you ask for the Floscan option for fuel flow (a pulse
rate input), you can calibrate the fuel flow readout to be air (or ground)
speed.   Of course it would readout as GPH but hey, for you Bob, I'll
customize the label to read MPH : )
