Piper PA-28-181 Archer
When you fly the Piper PA-28-181 Archer, Headingstar's instruments mark its own speeds and limits: the airspeed arcs and V-speeds, the engine gauges' green arcs and red lines. Typical published figures; the aircraft's handbook is the reference.

In the simulator
The Hub uses this profile when the simulator's aircraft title contains Archer, PA-28 or PA28. The rules are tried in order, so the first that matches wins. To use another profile, set the device's ENGINE in the Hub to it instead of auto.
