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?

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. This section is also needed when youre calculating your true airspeed, which you need to know to plan your flight.

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.

This means that if you encounter these conditions on a particular day, you would need to achieve a higher true airspeed to produce the same lift that would be generated at lower airspeeds in denser air. This increased true airspeed, along with other factors increases takeoff and landing distances.

Other concepts that are important to the nav log lesson (and one of the reasons it can be so time-consuming): FAR 91.103, and all that goes into proper flight planning, including knowledge of the weather; VFR charts and symbology, airspace and special-use airspace; Weight and balance, which is necessary to properly use the performance charts; The differences (..)
