Around 13 seconds before touchdown as the aircraft was descending through 153 feet above ground level (AGL) the TSB said the CRJ900s indicated airspeed increased to 154 knots whereas the ground speed did not change appreciably, consistent with a performance-increasing wind gust. The bank angle increased to a 4.7right bank.

If you’re aiming to get comfortable with managing both airspeed and altitude in flight, you’ll need to understand the difference between indicated airspeed (IAS) and true airspeed (TAS). Key Takeaways Airspeed and altitude are directly linked to each other throughout different phases of your flight. Why is that?

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?

Though it’s not as overtly revolutionary as the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) or Safe Return enabled by Garmin Autoland on Cirrus’ SF50 Vision Jet, the reimagined flight deck in the new SR G7 and other improvements make a more immediate impact—because pilots benefit from them on every flight, from the moment you press the start button.

The ATR’s airspeed was 191 knots. The CRUISE SPEED LOW is the first level of APM alert, and means that the indicated airspeed is at least ten knots slower than the predicted speed for their current configuration. Source: ATR The APM had triggered a CRUISE SPEED LOW alert in blue.

Jet engines also experience reduced thrust in less dense air. Jet engines use air for combustion and propulsion, so with less dense air, less gas is forced out of the exhaust, which leads to reduced thrust. This increased true airspeed, along with other factors increases takeoff and landing distances.

Naturally, my first officer and I got a good laugh from this as our 757 was cruising along effortlessly at about 300 knots indicated airspeed, and was not yawing towards the supposedly dead engine. I simply told the purser to tell those were concerned that the engine was, indeed, running quite normally.
