KIAS - knots indicated airspeed.
knot (kt) - one nautical mile per hour (never one knot per hour), the standard unit of aviation speed measurement. One knot equals 1.1515 mph; one nautical mile equals 6,080 feet.
KIAS. Knots indicated airspeed.
Kollsman window. A barometric scale window of a sensitive altimeter used to adjust the altitude for the altimeter setting.
LAAS. See local area augmentation system.

Knots Indicated Air Speed. IAS, in knots.

KIAS
Knots Indicated Airspeed - The aircraft’s velocity through the air as indicated to the pilot and measured by simple ram air pressure.
KIAS: ≡ knot / indicated airspeed, 2.1
KTAS: ≡ knot / true airspeed, 2.1
V1 : ≡ airspeed (takeoff decision), 17
VA: ≡ airspeed (maneuvering), 2
VFE: ≡ airspeed (maximum flaps-extended), 18 ...
In most small aircraft (cruising speeds of 100 - 175 KIAS) this bank will be about 30 to 40 degrees. This will begin a turn of the aircraft in the direction of bank. Then a smooth pitch up is started with the controls (the elevators on the empenage).
If not, follow the rules under Controlling Airspeed above to adjust elevator and power until you are straight and level at an airspeed of 80-90 KIAS. Take all the time you need to get this thing right. You'll be using the mode all through this book.
Air is assumed to be incompressible, up to about 200 KIAS and in the lower atmosphere (below 5000ft). Above that the altimeter over reads (air is starting to compress) by 1/2 knot. At 10000 ft the error starts at 160 KIAS with a 1/2 knot over read.
The horizontal axis is labeled in KIAS, or Knots Indicated Air Speed meaning the airspeed in Knots indicated on the pilot's airspeed indicator. A Knot is 1 nautical mile per hour. A nautical mile is 1.
The D-Jet's climb performance was impressive. Climbing through 16,000 feet, we were at 175 KIAS (235 KTAS) with a 1,300 fpm climb rate, and we were burning 588 pounds per hour at ISA+10 degrees C.
from an air speed indicator and is uncorrected for altitude, temperature, atmospheric density, or instrument error. This reading is fed to the pilot's instruments through a Pitot-Static System (pronounced Pee-tow), and is usually abbreviated in KIAS ...
