By the way, this entire subject matter is explained in tremendous detail on
PAGE 66 of the IYP Flight Deck Doc.

Setting the airspeed on a jet aircraft involves 2 parameters; the air
speed referred to as the Indicated Air Speed (IAS) and the auto-throttle
(AT). Thus, you can say, "Airspeed 250" to set the IAS, but it will have no
effect on the engines unless the Auto Thottle is turned on by saying...
"Auto Thottle On". However, please keep in mind that Michelle will NOT
perform any takeoff, climb out, cruise, descent or auto-landing procedures
unless she is controlling the airseed.
Basically, I fail to understand how a BVI pilot can safely control the
complexity of a jetliner's airspeeds throughout all phases of flight.
Ergo, I suggest that you simply say to Michelle, "I'd like you to handle
the air speed".

Hi All,
I was trying to make an approach into Seattle this evening, and ran into
an issue with the airspeed of my 737-800. Despite the IAS indicating 210
kts, I was still making 400+ over the ground, and going way too fast for
ATC to vector me for the approach.
I kept saying “airspeed 210,” and IYP acknowledged, but it didn’t seem to
matter.
I’ve also heard this happen when using Radar Contact once or twice, and
thought it was an RC issue. It didn’t occur to me that it might be IYP
until I heard it live.
Any information or advice appreciated. I had to abort my approach today
for unrelated reasons, but it was still frustrating.
Best,
