Types of Air-Speeds
- Indicated Airspeed - Read directly on the Airspeed Indicator instrument
- Calibrated Airspeed - Airspeed corrected for installation and instrument error
- True Airspeed - Calibrated Airspeed corrected for variation of Temperature and pressure and is used for flight planning purposes
White Arc
- Flap operating range of aircraft
- Vso top of arc velocity stall in landing configuration
- Vs1 - flaps up , stalling speed in a clean configuration
- Vse bottom of arc maximum speed flaps extended
Green Arc
- normal operating of aircraft
- bottom of arc VN0 - Maximum speed - normal operation
Yellow Arc
caution range
Red Line
You can use
- Use the POH
- E6B
- Use Airspeed Indication in the aircraft
To get the True airspeed directly from the Airspeed Speed Indicator,
you need to get
- The outside air temperature Devtron Outside Air Temperature/Clock
- The pressure Altitude - Set Barometric pressure to 29.92 and read the pressure altitude directly from the scale
- Adjust the knob so the Pressure Altitude matches the Outside Air Temperature
- Read the true airspeed directly from the outer number of the white scale on the Airspeed Indicator
Outside Air Temperature |
Set Standard Pressure 29.92 - and Read Pressure Altitude directly from the Barometer gague |
Adjust Knob at the bottom of the Gauge so that the Pressure Altitude 6600 matches the outside Temperature of 29.92 |
Read the Outside scale directly to get the True Airspeed |

How To Find Calibrated Airspeed CAS - E6B (instrument exam question)
What CAS must be used to maintain the filed TAS at the flight plan altitude if the outside air temperature is + 8 Degrees Centigrade anerwer 157
So you have to get 3 things to calculate Calibrated Air Speed
1. Cursing Altitude = 8,000 feet (from Flight Plan)
2. True Air Speed = from Flight plan 180Knots
3. Outside Air Temperature - Given in question +8 deg C
line up the pressure altitude and temperature Zero
Now rotate and set up 8000 feet pressure altitude at the 0 deg C mark
now set the +8 degree
After align Altitude 8000feet to True Air Temperature -8 deg , you will set your true airspeed which is 180 knots
It gives you 157 Calibrated Airspeed!
