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. miles per hour.

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.

As the helicopter continued towards the airport, the airspeed began to decrease. The indicated airspeed had fallen below 65 knots and was still decreasing. As the airspeed decayed, the right yaw increased. The helicopter was at treetop height with an indicated airspeed of zero knots when the right yaw ceased.

The eddies mixing with the vertical motion of the heat generating lift of the heated air makes for discomfort. The up motion of the lift vector from the surface temperatures, and the perpendicular wind vectors pushing the heated air along, make for a dynamism in space.

The higher speed creates extra lift, causing the airplane to bank further into the turn. The aileron on the right wing deflects down, increasing the camber and creating more lift. The left wing’s aileron deflects up, decreasing lift. The lift imbalance causes the roll. This drag imbalance amplifies the adverse yaw.

Caught in series of up and down drafts, the autopilot pitched the Warrior aggressively to maintain altitude and the indicated airspeed trended too high in each updraft. This meant that there would be no getting into Sodus unless the ceiling lifted. The ceiling lifted to 900 feet and even began to break up over Rochester.

You can override the system to manual by lifting a sliding door, but it was honestly completely forgotten within the first half hour of our flight demo. Flap overspeed protection makes for one more improvement, preventing the pilot from deploying the flaps above the programmed indicated airspeed relevant to the flap setting selected.
