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?

However, the single most important aircraft instrument is probably the airspeed indicator. True to its name, the airspeed indicator tells you how fast the plane is going and is important for flight planning and maintaining aircraft performance.

Key Takeaways The E6B is a mechanical slide rule that helps pilots make calculations useful for flight planning Use the slide rule side to calculate time, speed, fuel, and air density calculations. Thats your true airspeed. Calibrated airspeed is not the same as indicated airspeed.

There are different requirements if the flight is operated under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) or Visual Flight Rules (VFR). For example, a pilot flying IFR in controlled airspace will have to file an IFR flight plan and receive an ATC clearance. indicated airspeed. You may not exceed 200 kts.

Class C airports’ speed limits require aircraft within 4 Nautical Miles (NM) of the primary airport and below 2500 feet to maintain an Indicated Airspeed (IAS) of 200 knots or less. Maintaining awareness of airspace boundaries helps with the planning and carrying out of successful flights.

Guidelines in each corner of the pathway show the direction of the active flight plan leg to confirm that the plane is on its intended track. SmartView also provides the standard compass, attitude indicator, airspeed, and altitude scales. A highway-in-the-sky display is available.

So, on days when we are taking off or landing at an airfield with low air density, we require faster true airspeeds to generate the required lift. This increased true airspeed, along with other factors increases takeoff and landing distances. High-density altitude, on the other hand, indicates thin air.
