|
TAS |
True airspeed Speed of aircraft in relation to the air mass in which it's flying |
|
|
IAS |
Indicated airspeed Speed of the aircraft as observed on the ASI. Airspeed without correction for indicator, position, or compressibility errors. |

|
CAS |
Calibrated airspeed
ASI reading corrected for position/installation errors. CAS is equal to TAS at sea-level STP. |
|
|
EAS |
Equivalent airspeed ASI reading corrected for position/installation, instrument errors, and compressibility errors. EAS is equal to CAS at sea-level STP. |
|
|
Formula for maneuvering speed at less than max gross weight |
Va * sqrt(weight / max gross weight)
