Nope.  I don't really like digital readouts for my primary airspeed
indicator.  The air data on the EM2 is primarily intended for backup use so
I thought TAS was a useful reading to have.

I'll be looking at my old fashioned analog indicated airspeed instrument
when it's really critical (like landing).  Tough to put things like white,
yellow and red arcs on a digital indicator : )
