It is determined by the “paddle to pitot transition” selected in the gauge calibration. Keep in mind that if a GPS speed signal is present it will override the pitot speed signal. At the transition point, the gauge stops pulling information from the paddle wheel and begins pulling information from the pitot or GPS unit. Please refer to the owner’s manual.
