• Airspeed — is the speed of an aircraft relative to the air. There are several different measures of airspeed: indicated airspeed, calibrated airspeed, equivalent airspeed and true airspeed.It is measured within the flying aircraft with an airspeed indicator …   Wikipedia

• Airspeed indicator — The airspeed indicator or airspeed gauge is an instrument used in an aircraft to display the craft s airspeed, typically in knots, to the pilot. Markings Light aircraft Airspeed indicator markings use a set of standardized colored bands and lines …   Wikipedia

• Equivalent airspeed — (EAS) is the airspeed at sea level which represents the same dynamic pressure as that flying at the true airspeed (TAS) at altitude. It is useful for predicting aircraft handling, aerodynamic loads, stalling etc.EAS = TAS imes sqrt{frac{actual… …   Wikipedia

• Calibrated airspeed — (CAS) is the speed shown by a conventional airspeed indicator after correction for instrument error and position error. Most EFIS diplays also show CAS. At high speeds and altitudes, calibrated airspeed is further corrected for compressibility… …   Wikipedia

• True airspeed — (TAS) is the speed of an aircraft relative to the airmass in which it flies, i.e. the magnitude of the vector difference of the velocity of the aircraft and the velocity of the air. Under zero wind conditions and in horizontal flight, this is… …   Wikipedia

• Indicated airspeed — (IAS) is the airspeed read directly from the airspeed indicator on an aircraft, driven by the pitot static system. IAS is directly related to calibrated airspeed (CAS), but includes instrument errors and position error.An aircraft s indicated… …   Wikipedia

• compressibility correction — A correction applied to rectified airspeed to get equivalent airspeed. This correction is always negative but is generally negligible below 200 to 240 knots …   Aviation dictionary
