How are V-speed values displayed on the WDR?

V-speed values on the WDR are shown as two digits with an implied hundreds place. This means you read the displayed number and add 100 to get the actual speed in knots. For typical V-speeds during takeoff and approach, speeds sit in the 110–190 knot range, so a compact two-digit format is enough and reduces cockpit clutter. For example, a display of 21 represents 121 knots, and 55 represents 155 knots. This format uses knots (not kilometers per hour) and keeps the readout quick and unambiguous in busy flight phases.
