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.

Gus had scribbled down a list of mostly minor squawks, but he was thrilled with the true airspeed readouts he saw on the hour-plus hop to SMQ. Steve was a little cramped by the breadth of Gus’s grin as they taxied to the front of the shop.

Preferring a criterion that is independent of speed, engineers often refer to “peebee-over-toovee”—a (more or less) constant value represented by the ratio “pb/2V,” where “p” is the rate of roll in radians per second (a radian is 57.3

On one trip home, we had a 50-knot headwind, really annoying at a true airspeed of only 125. Next morning, we took off before the fires really got going again. Montana could also be bumpy in the summer, but that wasn’t the worst of it. All of this was quite different from Boston or California.

Your aircraft will fly at a faster true airspeed at higher density altitudes. Temperature An increase in temperature will increase the density altitude. A high density altitude decreases the performance of the engine and the wing. Landing distance will increase, and go-around and takeoff performance will decrease.

For example, the new engine or the King Air 300 series is relabeled the XP67A. It’s important to point out that the Blackhawk process is an upgrade, not an overhaul.

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. If this included a wind component of 50 kt from behind, his true airspeed would have suddenly dropped to 30 kt, i.e. well below stall speed.
