Pointers V MO Pointer (Barber Pole) At low altitudes, the V MO pointer indicates the maximum operating airspeed for the aircraft. V MO on the 767 is between 340-360 knots (depending on aircraft serial number). Airspeed Pointer The airspeed pointer shows the indicated airspeed in knots as generated by the Air Data Computer.

Because the size of the holding pattern is directly proportional to the speed of the aircraft, maximum holding speeds in knots indicated airspeed (KIAS) have been designated for specific altitude ranges. Maximum holding speeds in knots indicated.

For a Cessna 172, the recommended indicated airspeed for the maneuver is 105 knots. At this point, you should be flying at the slowest speed (5-10 knots above stall speed). Airspeed ±10 knots from entry airspeed. Lazy eights are typically flown at cruise power settings below maneuvering speed.

The helicopter turned left to return to the airport, travelling at about 85 knots. The indicated airspeed had fallen below 65 knots and was still decreasing. As the airspeed decayed, the right yaw increased. As the airspeed decayed, the right yaw increased. The pilot reported two miles out.

True Airspeed vs Indicated Airspeed VS Equivalent Airspeed Since airspeed indicators use air pressure to measure speed, the indicated airspeed can be less than the actual airspeed at higher altitudes. True airspeed (TAS) is the difference between the indicated airspeed and actual speed.

This is consistent with Rick’s report, which referenced 9 knots of wind. Without knowing the horizontal wind direction and speed at this point it is impossible to say what his indicated airspeed was. A sudden gust of 50 knots would have caused a stall unless he had been flying at about 100 knots indicated.

To get the extra lift required for the turns, I had to dive to get extra airspeed so that the plane could turn at that same AOA. Tedious numerical interpolation is not required when adjusting airspeed for weight, contrary to the claims of some AOA advocates. That produced a strange traffic pattern with roller coasters at the corners.)
