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.

The pitot-static system measures an aircraft’s airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed using air pressure differences. To find True Airspeed (TAS), youll need to account for these effects. How Does the System Give Inputs to the Altimeter? The altimeter uses the input from the static port to determine the altitude.

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.

This section is also needed when youre calculating your true airspeed, which you need to know to plan your flight. 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. Subtract it from 29.92.

Determine the pressure altitude at an airport that is 1,300 feet MSL with an altimeter setting of 29.6. What true airspeed should a pilot expect at 9,000 feet on a standard day with 65 percent maximum continuous power? Becoming airborne before reaching recommended takeoff speed. Settling to the surface abruptly during landing.

Unlike other airspeed measures, IAS accounts for air density and pressure changes, making it a dependable metric for low-altitude operations, takeoffs, and landings. How Indicated Airspeed Differs From Other Airspeeds True Airspeed (TAS) : Reflects the actual speed of the aircraft through the air, adjusted for altitude and temperature.
