When stepping into the cockpit, one of the most important instruments that a pilot relies on is the airspeed indicator. Among the metrics displayed, Indicated Airspeed (IAS) stands out as a critical measure for safe and efficient flight operations. Mastering indicated airspeed is a cornerstone of becoming a skilled pilot.

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. Why is that?

In this article, we’re going to compare indicated airspeed with true airspeed and help you get a deeper understanding of the difference between the two. Like its partner in crime, the altimeter, your airspeed indicator gives you vital information about the plane you’re flying.

Airspeed and altitude differences Consider speed first. The panel in your airplane shows indicated airspeed (IAS, derived from the pitot tube on the wing), while the iPad shows groundspeed (derived from the GPS in your ADS-B receiver or iPad). Here’s a somewhat geeky dive into the details. Confused yet?

Airspeed only. Airspeed and altimeter. Airspeed, altimeter, and vertical speed. If a flight is made from an area of low pressure into an area of high pressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted, the altimeter will indicate lower than the actual altitude above sea level. 15,940 feet.

If youre in the aircraft, set the altimeter to 29.92 If you dont have access to an altimeter, you can manually calculate the pressure altitude. Thats your true airspeed. Calibrated airspeed is not the same as indicated airspeed. and read the altitude shown. Subtract it from 29.92.

The ADC processes the data and sends it to various aircraft systems including airspeed/Mach indicators (like the SI-800), altimeters, Flight Management Systems (FMS), Autopilot Flight Director System (AFDS), elevator feel computers, and more. This speed is identical to the speed depicted by the Airspeed Pointer.
