Dr.G,
Here is the fly in your soup, when you turn off the AP your engines will go to wherever your throttle quadrant is sitting. If you took off with
your throttles to the fire wall and turn on the otto at the speed you wanted then that's where your engines are gonna go when you turn it off.
Using your GPS groundspeed is nothing more than a general guide as to your speed. It is helpful when you have any one of several
emergency situations. If you want to know your actual airspeed hit shift + Z and you will get a nice line of info at the top of your screen.

If it's stupid, but it works, it isn't stupid.
