Just done it.
Entered 500kph @ 6000m in FMB, and once the 'plane was trimmed out for straight and level, with boost through the gate and coarse pitch, after a bit of a wait and some re-trimming the airspeed indicator read 240mph, which allowing for IAS/TAS calculations, put the speed at about 350mph.
This looks about right to me. Unless my maths is wrong, I had to convert to metric and back also.
Which begs the question, when you enter speed in FMB, are you entering IAS or TAS? Does FMB calculate the difference?
Interestingly, she really wanted to climb so lots of down trim was needed. Might test the altitude again to see if anything has changed.
