If a flight is made from an area of low pressure into an area of high pressure without the altimeter setting being adjusted, the altimeter will indicate lower than the actual altitude above sea level. What does the red line on an airspeed indicator represent? Turbulent or rough-air speed. Airspeed indicator.

Static vents that measure static pressures are usually on the lower side of the plane, where the air stream isn’t as turbulent. 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.

At one point, we entered a region of sufficient turbulence that I disengaged the autopilot to hand-fly. 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.

Without knowing the horizontal wind direction and speed at this point it is impossible to say what his indicated airspeed was. At the high density altitude at Rifle a ground speed of 92 kt would have been equivalent to an indicated airspeed of less than 80 kt.
