CAS has two primary applications in aviation:
for navigation, CAS is traditionally calculated as one of the steps between indicated airspeed and true airspeed; ...
IAS → CAS → EAS → TAS
Thus IAS corrected for instrument and position errors is CAS, corrected for compressibility errors is EAS, corrected for density errors is TAS.
Calibrated Air Speed (CAS) - The indicated air speed of an aircraft, corrected for position and instrument error. CAS is equal to true air speed in standard atmosphere at sea level. See also TRUE AIR SPEED and INDICATED AIR SPEED.
CAS: Calibrated Airspeed. IAS corrected for air density and compressibility.
CDI: Course Deviation Indicator. The vertical needle of a VOR indicator which shows the aircraft's position relative to the selected radial.
EQUIVALENT AIRSPEED (EAS) is calibrated airspeed (CAS) corrected for compression of air in the pitot tube (same as CAS in standard atmosphere at sea level; less than CAS at higher altitudes and faster airspeeds).
The airspeed is perhaps the most controversial figure talked about and we will see how you can obtain the CAS (Corrected Air Speed) from your IAS (indicated Air Speed). The IAS is just what it says, "indicated," by your instrument.
If the aircraft isn't configured properly, a CAS message is displayed on the MFD. If you forget to push the button before throttle up, then the system automatically will complete the checks and post the CAS message.
IAS - indicated airspeed. An aircraft's speed through the air as indicated by the ASI, without correction for position error, altitude or outside air temperature. Also see CAS, RAS and TAS.
