Oops, I see what you are asking now. Perhaps try this to find out:
Set a multicrew aircraft to spawn in at lets say 300 kph, or whatever you want. Then you pick the gunner seat and hit fly. Since you are not the pilot, the plane is technically AI. See if what your speedbar is saying is what you set (IAS) or maybe if its a lower than what you set, in which case it would be (TAS)

My test: A group of B5N2's. In the mission builder I have speed set to 259 kph. Altitude of 3000 mters. Ok now I fly the mission but I do not pick the pilots seat, instead pick the bombardiers seat.

After doing this test, I believe it is Indicated Airspeed or IAS
My speed bar when I spawned in was alternating around 250 to 260 kph. And the gauges in the aircraft were reading around 135 kts.

Now if it was TAS, when I spawned, the speed bar should have been around 210 to 220 kph (110 to 120 kts on the guage) at my altitude of 3000 m.
