When stepping into the cockpit, one of the most important instruments that a pilot relies on is the airspeed indicator. Among the metrics displayed, Indicated Airspeed (IAS) stands out as a critical measure for safe and efficient flight operations. Mastering indicated airspeed is a cornerstone of becoming a skilled pilot.

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.

This section is also needed when youre calculating your true airspeed, which you need to know to plan your flight. Calculating True Airspeed Follow steps 1-3 from the section above. Find your Calibrated Airspeed on the middle scale on the movable disk. Thats your true airspeed. Look under the grommet.

Flutter is a dangerous, complex, dynamic aeroelastic phenomenon dependent on true airspeed. The margin beyond VNE in indicated airspeed and the onset of flutter may be less than many pilots would guess. Nevertheless, the NTSB is clear. A mellow barrel roll was fine. A too-fast entry into a power-on split S was not.
