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.

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.

Aircraft contain all kinds of wonderous indicators and instruments to measure velocity, altitude, weather conditions, etc. However, the single most important aircraft instrument is probably the airspeed indicator. True airspeed (TAS) is the difference between the indicated airspeed and actual speed.

ICAO minima for circling approaches is much higher than that stipulated in the FARs so consider higher weather minima. We also benefit from the latest weather updates. A proactive policy may very well be to prohibit night circling approaches Weather updates? Particular attention to true airspeed vs. turn radius.

When flying through a high-pressure weather system, the same volume of air contains more molecules. The opposite is true for low-pressure weather systems. Obtain current weather data from an ATIS or local weather station for accurate calculations. As the atmospheric pressure changes, so does air density.

These were divided into two main categories, prior maneuvering and weather upset. In most cases, some type of aerobatics with an increase in airspeed preceded loss of control. They reviewed certification limits, mechanical structure, airspeed instrumentation, and flutter analysis. Nevertheless, the NTSB is clear.
