Airspeed..

Is there a way of holding at a certain airspeed, We say the learjet appoach I want to hold at 140 kts can I enter this in some where so it will hold at that speed, I find it hard to hold a certain speed manually.

autothrottle aka speed hold is availible on the learjet. look at the autopilot panel. the autopilot must be on, speed set before arming it and lastly turning it on.

Thanks Mate, The more questions I ask the easier it gets to understand.

You must be thinking of the Boeing A/T. In the Lear, the A/P does NOT need to be on, and there is no "Arm" function-- you just dial in the speed, and click the "IAS" button so that it lights up.
