Types of Airspeed


Indicated Airspeed (IAS) - the airspeed readdirectly from the airspeed indicator.

IAS is not affected by wind.

Types of Airspeed


Calibrated Airspeed (CAS) - indicated airspeedcorrected for instrument installation error.

CAS is not affected by the wind.

Types of Airspeed


True Airspeed (TAS) - calibrated airspeed correctedfor error due to air density (altitude and temperature).

TAS is not affected by the wind.

1000’ PA, 13° C = 92 KTAS

4000’ PA, 7° C = 96 KTAS

GROUND SPEED


Ground Speed - speed of the aircraft over the ground.GS is TAS +/- wind speed. Used to calculate time

required to fly a certain distance.

GROUND SPEED


Headwinds - winds +/- 90° of the aircraft nose reduceground speed. TAS minus wind velocity.

Questions?



Action: Select the definition of deviation, use of the compass deviation card and completing VFR flight log


Standard: IAW Fm 1-240 and the Student Handout



DEVIATIONCompass error caused by external magnetic

fields such as generators, radios, etc., causingthe compass needle to deviate from magnetic north.


MN

No deviation,Compass Heading (CH) =Magnetic Heading (MH)


MN N 33



Deviation due to magnetic field caused by radio. Compass Heading (CH)

no longer equals Magnetic Heading (MH)

2. Find number closest to MH in the “to fly” column.

3. Find corresponding CH in the “steer” column.
