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.

Unlike other airspeed measures, IAS accounts for air density and pressure changes, making it a dependable metric for low-altitude operations, takeoffs, and landings. How Indicated Airspeed Differs From Other Airspeeds True Airspeed (TAS) : Reflects the actual speed of the aircraft through the air, adjusted for altitude and temperature.

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.

To find True Airspeed (TAS), youll need to account for these effects. Some pitot tubes combine static and total pressure internally, sending only dynamic pressure to the ASI for a simpler design. Remember, the ASI measures airflow relative to the aircraft, so wind can affect readings. How Does the System Give Inputs to the Altimeter?

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.
