When I fly very seldom watch the ASI indicator.
The first time is when I rise flaps on takeoff.
Very often the second and last is on final.
The rest of the time I watch RPM and MAP together with attitude because I
was taught to do so.
(readers, don't take this as a rule since I may be plain wrong and with 90
hours I don't have much experience to share).

That is all well and good, if you are just flying around local, but if you
are stretching range on a cross country, you had better be keeping track of
time in the air, speed flown, and fuel burn, lest ye run the engine to where
it sucks air! g
