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. miles per hour.

The flight crew adjusted the icing bug to 165 knots. The icing bug is set every flight and indicates the minimum viable speed in icing conditions. The temperature at their cruising altitude was around -9° with westerly winds at 46 knots. The ATR’s airspeed was 191 knots.

Naturally, my first officer and I got a good laugh from this as our 757 was cruising along effortlessly at about 300 knots indicated airspeed, and was not yawing towards the supposedly dead engine. When he got back to the cockpit, he told me he did not think the passengers had bought his explanation.

It was a beefed up, militarized version of the Beechcraft Bonanza with a narrowed fuselage and conventional tail, seating two pilots in tandem cockpits with controls and indicators configured similarly to tactical aircraft of the period. We could practice in a cockpit procedures trainer next to the briefing area.

The Honeywell SI-800 Airspeed/Mach Indicator has been a standard instrument on the Boeing 737, 747, 757, and 767 for decades. Boeing stopped installing the stand-alone indicator in favor of modern, reliable flat panel displays. V MO on the 767 is between 340-360 knots (depending on aircraft serial number).

But the engineering behind the G7 didn’t wring a few more knots from the carbon fiber airframe by tweaking fairings or FIKI panels. Flap overspeed protection makes for one more improvement, preventing the pilot from deploying the flaps above the programmed indicated airspeed relevant to the flap setting selected. Obs: 1,868 ft.

This is consistent with Rick’s report, which referenced 9 knots of wind. Without knowing the horizontal wind direction and speed at this point it is impossible to say what his indicated airspeed was. A sudden gust of 50 knots would have caused a stall unless he had been flying at about 100 knots indicated.
