True Airspeed
True Airspeed is the speed of an aircraft moving through the air. As an airplane moves through the atmosphere the air passes under the wings at a given speed.
True Airspeed, TAS
Airspeed indicators are calibrated under ISA conditions, only if these conditions exist in the atmosphere the instrument will indicate true airspeed. Some airspeed indicators have an outside air temperature (OAT) set knob.
True airspeed. Actual airspeed, determined by applying a correction for pressure altitude and temperature to the CAS.

True Airspeed
The airspeed of an aircraft relative to undisturbed air. Used primarily in flight planning and en route portion of flight.
TRUE AIRSPEED - The speed of an aircraft along its flight path, in respect to the body of air (air mass) through which the aircraft is moving. Also see CALIBRATED AIRSPEED, GROUND SPEED, INDICATED AIRSPEED.
True airspeed (TAS): Airspeed corrected for instrumentation errors and air density.
U/V ADF: UHF/VHF Automatic Direction Finding.
True airspeed at this height is 160 knots-not bad for a fully grossed utiliplane with wheels and struts hanging in the wind.
The true airspeed that corresponds to any given calibrated airspeed will be higher, by about 2% per thousand feet of density altitude. Your groundspeed will also be greater.
KTAS True airspeed, in knots.
LAAS Local Area Augmentation System, an enhancement of the Global Positioning System (GPS) providing greater navigation accuracy and system integrity.

True airspeed plus 20% when talking with other pilots. Deduct 25% when listening to a Navy aviator. 3. Measured in furlongs-per-fortnight in student aircraft.
A tailwind can increase the aircraft speed over the ground faster that it’s true air speed while a strong headwind may result in a slower ground speed than the aircraft true airspeed.
High temperature and high elevation will cause an increase in the landing roll because the true airspeed is higher than the indicated airspeed.
Airspeed is measured on the ASI (Air Speed Indicator) and differs both from the true airspeed and the groundspeed. The true airspeed is the indicated airspeed corrected for variations caused by changes in temperature and pressure.
He typically flight plans a true airspeed of 105 knots. Endurance is about 3.

Mach number - ratio of true airspeed to the speed of sound. Mach 1 is the speed of sound at sea level, ISA, approximately 1,100 feet per second or 760 mph.
CALIBRATED AIRSPEED (CAS) - The indicated airspeed of an aircraft, corrected for position and instrument error. CAS is equal to true airspeed in standard atmosphere at sea level. Compare INDICATED AIRSPEED (IAS) and TRUE AIRSPEED (TAS).
