Airspeed guides everything from takeoff to landing and every phase in between. But did you know there are several types of airspeed, each serving a unique purpose? Like Indicated Airspeed (IAS) , Calibrated Airspeed (CAS) , True Airspeed (TAS) , and more! Lets break down the six types of airspeed!

The electronic E6B is equally useful when in the airplane, to help determine actual winds aloft, true airspeed, fuel burn, and descent planning. Calculate the planned groundspeed if the winds aloft are forecast to be from 250 at 15 knots flying a true course of 130 with a true airspeed of 112 knots.

Learn how to use the wind side to find groundspeed and wind correction angles. Your groundspeed (which will differ from your airspeed as the wind pushes you around). The rear has the wind side for calculating wind correction angles and groundspeed. Be careful interpreting the scales. The fuel consumption for your flight.

A perfectly good airplane with everything operating as expected. Particular attention to true airspeed vs. turn radius. The rule of thumb is VSI = ½ groundspeed times 10. A high degree of pilot proficiency, competence as well as currency (currency in Circling Approaches specifically).
