For what it's worth, I don't think it's all that distracting to briefly check an airspeed indicator during the takeoff roll. I sometimes fly radial and turbine Ag Cats off of strips that are 20-30 feet wide and it usually doesn't take too long to register where the needle is. Granted, I'm more...
I am an aerial applicator. Not everyone wants to fly a Citation.
Granted, I wouldn't decline the opportunity out of hand, but it would have to be a VERY good offer for me to want to do it.
