IAS= Indicated airspeed- the airspeed read right off of the altimeter.

CAS= Calibrated airspeed- IAS corrected for installation and position error (found in the POH)

TAS= CAS corrected for nonstandard temperatures

EAS= TAS corrected for the compressability of the air (normally at very high Airspeeds)

1 answer


The airspeed indicator operates based on the difference between the pressure of the pitot tube (ram air pressure) and the static port (ambient air pressure). As the aircraft moves through the air, the pressure difference changes, which is translated into an airspeed reading on the indicator. The indicator is calibrated to display the indicated airspeed, which may differ from the true airspeed due to factors like altitude and instrument errors.

Equivalent airspeed is speed at sea level in which the incompressible dynamic pressure can be produces as if it were at true airspeed. Equivalent airspeed is used to predict aircraft handling.

True airspeed (TAS) can be calculated from calibrated airspeed (CAS) by applying the compressibility correction factor based on altitude and temperature. The Mach number (MN) can be used to adjust the calculated TAS to account for the effects of speed of sound at the given conditions. TAS is typically calculated using the formulas provided in aviation manuals or with the help of specialized flight computers.

An airspeed is the speed at which an aircraft is travelling relative to the air through which it is flying.

It's an airspeed indicator that compensates for outside temperature and barometric pressure at altitude.

It depends on your airspeed. At normal cruise airspeed, an increase or decrease of engine thrust causes an aircraft to ascend or descend. At approach airspeed, a slower airspeed with flaps lowered, raising or lowering the elevators causes the aircraft to ascend or descend.

It is calibrated by puttin it in some ice.

1 answer


No. 'Airspeed' is the airplane's speed relative to the air. 'Headwind' and 'tailwind' ... in fact, 'wind' in any direction ... is the speed of the air relative to the ground, which the airplane doesn't feel. So 'wind' affects only the craft's groundspeed, not its airspeed.

the airspeed indicator works by measuring the increase in air pressure caused by the moving aircraft

2 answers


An airspeed indicator works by measuring the difference between the ram air pressure from the pitot tube (which faces forward into the airstream) and the static air pressure from the static port. The difference in pressures is converted into an airspeed reading on the instrument display. As the aircraft moves through the air, the pressure differential changes, and the airspeed indicator reflects these changes in real time.

A power curve is an important curve used in aviation. It is the curve of form and induced drag interacting with airspeed. This curve shows pilots that they must give additional thrust as speed decreases to maintain airspeed when airspeed is below a certain point.

1 answer


Indicated airspeed (IAS) is the speed of an aircraft as shown on its airspeed indicator, which measures the dynamic pressure created by the aircraft moving through the air. Ground speed is the actual speed at which the aircraft is moving over the ground and is affected by wind. The ground speed can be faster or slower than the indicated airspeed depending on the direction and strength of the wind.

Basically, there are indicated, true and ground speeds.

Indicated airspeed takes air pressure differences from a sensor, corrects for pressure altitude (altitude adjusted for barometric pressure) and for temperature to determine true airspeed (speed through the ocean of air). True airspeed is adjusted for winds to get ground speed.

There are many factors to consider when selecting a particular air speed. For a particular airplane, fuel efficiency generally decreases with airspeed. Increased airspeed places more demands on piloting skills.

If you know all the factors, you can determine the indicated of airspeed in the cockpit. Conversely, if the factors are known, ground speed can be determined from indicated airspeed.

Winds aloft, which often change with altitude, are a bigger factor for small planes than for large commercial aircraft on a schedule. For fuel efficiency reasons, when experiencing a tailwind, use a lower indicated airspeed. Conversely, when in a headwind, use a higher airspeed. Either the benefits are greater or the penalty is not as severe when wind is considered. Look at it this way. You would like to stay in a tailwind to get that free push as long as possible, so, fly slower.

Different airplanes have different fuel efficiency with airspeed characteristics so the optimum airspeed would vary with the airplane, the priorities of schedule, fuel efficiency and safety as well as weather conditions.

Indicated airspeed decreases with altitude, so an altitude correction must be used to get the true airspeed as well as a temperature correction (it gets colder up there).

They say speed is money. How fast do you want to go?

So, it is a trade off among competing factors.

True airspeed typically increases with altitude because air density decreases as you climb higher. Since true airspeed is the speed of an aircraft relative to the air mass in which it is flying, it will generally increase as the air becomes less dense at higher altitudes.

The CH-47 Chinook has a maximum airspeed of 170 knots, and cruises at 130 knots. The AH-64 Apache has a maximum airspeed of 158 knots, and cruises at 143 knots. The Chinook has a slower cruise speed, but can outrun the Apache due to its higher maximum airspeed.

1 answer


True airspeed is the speed of an aircraft relative to undisturbed air, while groundspeed is the speed of an aircraft relative to the ground. True airspeed takes into account factors like altitude and air density, while groundspeed considers wind speed and direction. The two speeds can be different when there is wind affecting the aircraft's movement.

An air vane is a part of an airspeed indicator in an aircraft. It senses the dynamic pressure of the air moving past the aircraft, which is used to determine the aircraft's airspeed.

A TD calibrated pipette is a type of pipette that is calibrated "to deliver" a specific volume of liquid. This means that the pipette is designed to dispense the intended volume of liquid accurately and consistently. It differs from a TC (to contain) pipette which is calibrated to contain the specified volume but may not deliver it precisely.

"TD" on calibrated instruments typically indicates the "Total Deviation" from the standard or desired measurement.

No, a digital multimeter, in most cases, does not have a built-in voltage standard which is why, if you are using it for calibrated work, it needs to be calibrated professionally. I am a Field Service Engineer and have been in the electronics field for about 30 years and I've always used calibrated multimeters (usually calibrated by an outside source).
