Lol, happens to me all the time, sometimes I don't realize the cruise control whilst landing or steering. Would be great to have something showing us that cruise control is on. But why not make something more blatant, cause you wouldn't always be looking at your speed bar.
I always look at my speed before landing. I will instantly notice it, even while flying I look allot at my speed bar. I cant miss that sign.
First I have put it here as alternative.
But I would rather use that empty space in the speed panel, because we can add more things there, like lock sign (see topic
