If you’re aiming to get comfortable with managing both airspeed and altitude in flight, you’ll need to understand the difference between indicated airspeed (IAS) and true airspeed (TAS). Key Takeaways Airspeed and altitude are directly linked to each other throughout different phases of your flight.

Determine the pressure altitude at an airport that is 1,300 feet MSL with an altimeter setting of 29.6. Floating caused by the phenomenon of ground effect will be most realized during an approach to land when at less than the length of the wingspan above the surface. 1,000 feet MSL 1,525 feet MSL 1,600 feet MSL Correct!

Your aircraft will fly at a faster true airspeed at higher density altitudes. It only takes a 10% increase in approach speed to increase the landing roll by 20%. These obstacles frequently affect the approach and missed approach paths. Plan your approach path carefully to eliminate large pitch and power changes.
