Depending on design, airfoils used in general aviation, stall at angles of attack between 16 to 18 degrees. The main factors which determine the angle of attack of a wing are, airspeed, weight, and load factor. The indicated airspeed at which the airplane stalled is fairly consistent.

Thats your true airspeed. Calibrated airspeed is not the same as indicated airspeed. However, the difference is a few knots for general aviation airspeeds and altitudes. For example, if its 120, look for the number 12 on the scale. Read the corresponding number on the outer scale.

Airspeed indicators need air from a pitot tube and static air from a static port Small general aviation aircraft have airspeed indicators with air hoses connected directly to the pitot and static sources. Digital Data Airspeed The Indicated Airspeed (above 30 knots) is displayed in a digital format.

Key Takeaways Airports that fall under Class C designation handle general aviation and airline traffic. 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.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), 91% of fatal air accidents in general aviation (GA) back in 2005 were caused by a pilot’s loss of control of the aircraft, usually during approach and landing, or by flying into terrain. On the ground, the graphics are equally detailed.

The margin beyond VNE in indicated airspeed and the onset of flutter may be less than many pilots would guess.
