Loss  of  Airspeed  

If  the  Gemini  loses  airspeed,  or  is  not  connected  to  
a   Pitot   system   the   airspeed   tape   will   become   a  
ground   speed   tape.     This   will   only   occur   if   the  
ground   speed   is   greater   than   V

s0

  (Bottom   of   the  

white  arc).      The  background  color  of  the  tape  will  

change   to   yellow   to   indicate   that   it   is   not  
displaying   airspeed,   but   is   in   backup   mode  
displaying  ground  speed.  
 
(note:   Even   if   not   connecting   to   the   Pitot   /   Static  
system,  both  ports  MUST  be  open  to  the  cockpit.)
