Twin Soob's....cool

I'm the same,keep a stable approach speed
then flare is all out the window

Multi-engine aircraft , have two additional airspeed markings
(except really large aircraft)

A red line near the lower limit of the airspeed range indicates minimum controllable airspeed, Vmc
This is the lowest speed at which the airplane is controllable when one engine is inoperative and the other engine is operating at full power

A blue line on the airspeed indicator marks best single-engine rate of climb airspeed Vyse
This speed delivers the best rate of climb with one engine inoperative.

ps:
Airspeed indicators on large aircraft, like the Boeing 737-400
don't have these markings because the speeds they represent vary considerably depending on aircraft weight, power settings, and other factors
Pilots calculate these speeds before each takeoff and use markers called "bugs" on the airspeed indicator as reminders of those speeds under current conditions.

Glad you noticed that lol
old pic from when I bought the plane,and it was late when posting

Hi

The start of the yellow Arc
would be the end of normal operating Range of Speed and the start of the caution Range of Speed


Green Arc: Normal Operating Range

The green arc shows the normal operating range of the airplane.
The speed at the bottom of the green arc, abbreviated Vs1, is the stall speed with the flaps and landing gear retracted, power at idle,
and the airplane at maximum gross weight.

The top of the green arc shows the high end of the normal operating range,
the maximum structural cruising speed, abbreviated Vno.

Yellow Arc: Caution Range

The yellow arc represents the caution range—speeds appropriate only in smooth air.
The top of the yellow arc coincides with Vne, the never-exceed speed of the airplane.

Red Line: Never-Exceed Speed

A red line near the top of the airspeed range marks Vne.
Exceeding this speed even in smooth air could damage the airplane structure.

White Arc: Flap Operating Range

The white arc shows the range of speeds in which it's safe to extend full flaps.
The upper limit of the white arc is called Vfe, maximum flap extended speed.
Extending the flaps at higher speeds could cause structural damage.

The lower limit of the white arc, abbreviated Vso,
is the stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed at maximum gross weight with the flaps and landing gear in the landing position.

PS: Here's a pic to show the Range of speeds
