What is the difference between Indicated Air Speed and True Air Speed?
Can you explain to me the difference between Indicated Air Speed and True Air Speed?
Sure! Indicated Air Speed (IAS) is the airspeed read directly from the airspeed indicator, uncorrected for factors such as altitude, temperature and other environmental factors. On the other hand, True Air Speed (TAS) is the actual speed at which an aircraft moves through the air. It is the calibrated equivalent airspeed corrected for environmental factors such as altitude, temperature and pressure.
