We know how much work it takes
to become a pilot, because
we've done that work too.
When it comes to an
aviation legal or medical issue,
have experts on your side who
understand what's at risk.

precision when discussing aircraft motion
and associated speed. In conversations
with pilots, few could explain all of the
following speeds: indicated, calibrated,
equivalent, true, and ground.
The aircraft pitot tube measures total
pressure and the static port detects static
pressure. Dynamic pressure is the difference
between total and static pressures and
an increase in that difference causes the
needle on the airspeed indicator to read a
higher value of indicated airspeed (IAS).
Were the pitot-static measurement
system error-free, IAS would perfectly
describe the way the aircraft moves with
respect to the air mass containing it.
Designing and locating the system elements
on the aircraft prove challenging, so
manufacturers publish a correction table
or graph in the pilot's operating handbook.
Applying this correction to IAS results in
calibrated airspeed (CAS). In the POH
for my Beechcraft Bonanza, Niky, CAS is
remarkably close to IAS for almost the
entire airspeed spectrum. The POH for
Wilbur, my Cessna 152, reports that IAS
reads two knots high in cruise flight and
six knots low around the stall.
At very high speeds and altitudes, the
pitot system can produce a dynamic pressure
reading that is erroneously high due
to compressibility effects. Equivalent airspeed
(EAS) corrects CAS for such errors.
For many common general aviation aircraft,
equivalent airspeed is not mentioned
in the pilot's operating handbook because
the effects are minimal. For transport category
aircraft, though, equivalent airspeed
is an important one to know.
EAS, or CAS if you fly airplanes like
mine, properly describes aircraft motion
with reference to the air mass containing
it. But sometimes the appropriate frame of
reference is the space that contains those
air molecules.
An aircraft that flies at a fixed caliAOPA

brated airspeed will travel much farther
through space in the flight levels than
it does at sea level since air density
decreases with altitude. True airspeed
(TAS) corrects EAS for such density
effects. For example, an aircraft cruising
at 12,000 msl with 166 KCAS travels
around 200 KTAS. If you want to get to
your destination with time efficiency,
