This at first sounds like pilot error, but reading a little more closely makes it look like Antonov Flight Test has some serious procedural issues. How does a pilot display wind up showing a speed that is off by 60 knots? Worse, how is it that the error was already known to the test team but not rectified? And if it hadn't been rectified, how did the crew get airborne without sufficient knowledge of the problem?
This looks very strange to me.
