Airspeed

Question 0

Calibrated Airspeed (CAS) that has been corrected for altitude and nonstandard temperature.

Answer 0

True Airspeed (TAS)

Question 1

Define “Indicated Airspeed (IAS).”

Answer 1

The direct instrument reading obtained from the Airspeed Indicator (ASI). It is uncorrected for variations in atmospheric density or device deviation.

Question 2

Define “Groundspeed (GS).”

Answer 2

The actual speed of the plane over ground.

Question 5

The actual speed of the plane over ground.

Answer 5

Groundspeed (GS)

Question 6

Indicated airspeed (IAS) corrected for installation error and instrument error.

Answer 6

Calibrated Airspeed

Question 7

Define “True Airspeed (TAS).”

Answer 7

The speed of the aircraft in relation to the air mass in which it is flying. It is Calibrated Airspeed (CAS) that has been corrected for altitude and nonstandard temperature.

Question 11

Define “Calibrated Airspeed (CAS).”

Answer 11

Indicated airspeed (IAS) corrected for position, installation and instrument errors.

Question 13

The direct instrument reading obtained from the Airspeed Indicator (ASI). It is uncorrected for variations in atmospheric density or device deviation.

Answer 13

Indicated Airspeed
