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.

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. 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.

Your aircraft will fly at a faster true airspeed at higher density altitudes. The local altimeter setting is 29.65, the temperature is 25°C, and we have a 9-knot headwind. Subtract the altimeter setting from 29.92, multiply it by 1,000, and add that to the field elevation. Start by calculating the pressure altitude.
