To calculate airspeed accurately, we need to separate the dynamic pressure from the total pressure. Since static pressure changes with altitude and weather, the static port provides a constant reading of the current atmospheric pressure. This allows the system to subtract it and display the correct airspeed.

ICAO minima for circling approaches is much higher than that stipulated in the FARs so consider higher weather minima. We also benefit from the latest weather updates. Perhaps just prior to the start of descent could be the optimum time–certainly completed no later than commencement of approach. What is the runway lighting?

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.

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.

Weather, field conditions, obstacles, and many other elements greatly affect short field operations. Your aircraft will fly at a faster true airspeed at higher density altitudes. Any substantial changes to speed and descent rate will destabilize the landing. Power controls the rate of descent, and pitch controls airspeed.
