Describe the effects that changes in density have on True Airspeed and mach airspeed
|
TAS increases with decreasing density
Mach increases with decreasing density |
|
|
Define Indicated, Calibrated, True, and Ground Speed
|
IAS: the airspeed read directly from the aircraft Airspeed Indicator
CAS: IAS corrected for instrument installation error. TAS: calibrated airspeed corrected for air density (pressure and temperature) and is the speed of the aircraft through the air mass. Ground Speed: the actual speed of the aircraft relative to the ground and is found by correcting TAS for HW/TW |

|
Identify the three Vectors and their two components that make up the wind triangle.
|
Air Vector: Direction (TH) and Speed (TAS)
Ground Vector: intended or actual flight path (TC or TRK) and Groundspeed Wind Vector: wind direction (DIR) and velocity |
