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.

To find True Airspeed (TAS), youll need to account for these effects. As the name implies, the VSI shows the rate of the aircrafts climb or descent. It shows the rate of climb or descent in feet per minute. The faster the rate of climb or descent, the greater the differential pressure, and the more the needle will swing.

The electronic E6B is equally useful when in the airplane, to help determine actual winds aloft, true airspeed, fuel burn, and descent planning. Calculate the planned groundspeed if the winds aloft are forecast to be from 250 at 15 knots flying a true course of 130 with a true airspeed of 112 knots.

A few seconds later the airplane data showed a maneuver consistent with an aileron roll followed by a rapid descent about 1,000 feet before regaining its prior altitude and track above the highway.” Airspeed reached 248 kias, well over the never exceed VNE of 200 kias. There was no pulling up of the nose to regain level flight.

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.

Powered by a single Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-52 turboprop engine, the M700 Fury has a maximum cruise speed of 301 knots true airspeed (ktas), with a range of 1,149 nautical miles. At normal cruise (292 ktas), range is 1,424 nm. The Fury comes with the certified FIKI system and Garmin Autoland.
