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! What Are The Different Types of Airspeed?

Calculating True Airspeed Follow steps 1-3 from the section above. Find your Calibrated Airspeed on the middle scale on the movable disk. Thats your true airspeed. Calibrated airspeed is not the same as indicated airspeed. For example, if its 120, look for the number 12 on the scale.

The sensor detects the amount of force from the pitot impact pressure and gives it airspeed indications by converting those values into speed. When properly calibrated, airspeed indicators are a highly accurate means of measuring the actual speed of a modern aircraft.

We didnt take the F2 to its optimum altitude, but its not hard to believe itll hit the LSA-mandated maximum of 120 kcas (knots calibrated airspeed). During our airwork, we were burning 3.5 to 4 gph, and you wont use much more during cruise. Final Thoughts The Flight Design F2 is a well-considered and -executed airplane.

The proposal floated by the FAA has stall speeds capped at 54 knots calibrated airspeed in the clean (or no-flaps) configuration. The FAA, in the interest of safety, wanted to find an equivalent level of safety with existing LSAs, which have had a good accident record, so the key parameter is now clean stall speed.
