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?

Learn how to use the wind side to find groundspeed and wind correction angles. Your groundspeed (which will differ from your airspeed as the wind pushes you around). The rear has the wind side for calculating wind correction angles and groundspeed. Be careful interpreting the scales. The fuel consumption for your flight.

Particular attention to true airspeed vs. turn radius. What specific indicated airspeed will be flown/adhered to during the circling maneuver? The rule of thumb is VSI = ½ groundspeed times 10. Specific discussion to neighboring terrain features such as buildings, towers, hills, trees.
