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! Lets break down the six types of airspeed!

Flying to Europe is well within reach for many executive jet types. Modern executive jets have the capability to fly from the Americas to Europe. This is where the North Atlantic Organised Track System (NAT-OTS) guides your flight planning. Over the north Atlantic, we usually have to deal with the polar front jet stream.

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. Jet engines also experience reduced thrust in less dense air. Is High Air Density Good for Flying?

In June I made a transcontinental flight in Big Sam , my Cessna Skylane. It was interesting and a lot of fun for a lot of reasons, with most of them having to do with not flying a jet and not being restricted by ATC and all the regulatory stuff that makes an airline pilot feel like he’s roped and tied. Why am I free?
