calibrated airspeed indicator
1Calibrated airspeed — (CAS) is the speed shown by a conventional airspeed indicator after correction for instrument error and position error. Most EFIS diplays also show CAS. At high speeds and altitudes, calibrated airspeed is further corrected for compressibility… …
2Airspeed indicator — The airspeed indicator or airspeed gauge is an instrument used in an aircraft to display the craft s airspeed, typically in knots, to the pilot. Markings Light aircraft Airspeed indicator markings use a set of standardized colored bands and lines …
3airspeed indicator — Aeron. a flight instrument showing the airspeed of an aircraft. Abbr.: ASI * * * ▪ instrument instrument that measures the speed of an aircraft relative to the surrounding air, using the differential between the pressure of still air… …
4calibrated airspeed — noun : the reading (of an airspeed indicator) corrected for instrumental and installation errors * * * calibrated airspeed noun (aeronautics) An airspeed value obtained from instruments and corrected for instrument error but not for altitude • •… …
5Airspeed — is the speed of an aircraft relative to the air. There are several different measures of airspeed: indicated airspeed, calibrated airspeed, equivalent airspeed and true airspeed.It is measured within the flying aircraft with an airspeed indicator …
6Airspeed (disambiguation) — Airspeed is the speed of an aircraft relative to the air.Airspeed may also refer to:*Airspeed (film), a movie *Airspeed Aviation, a small regional airline based in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. *Airspeed indicator, a flight instrument… …
7airspeed — The speed of an aircraft relative to its surrounding air mass. The unqualified term “airspeed” can mean any one of the following. a. calibrated airspeed Indicated airspeed corrected for instrument installation error. b. equivalent airspeed… …
8True airspeed — (TAS) is the speed of an aircraft relative to the airmass in which it flies, i.e. the magnitude of the vector difference of the velocity of the aircraft and the velocity of the air. Under zero wind conditions and in horizontal flight, this is… …
9Indicated airspeed — (IAS) is the airspeed read directly from the airspeed indicator on an aircraft, driven by the pitot static system. IAS is directly related to calibrated airspeed (CAS), but includes instrument errors and position error.An aircraft s indicated… …
10Attitude indicator — An attitude indicator (ADI), gyro horizon or artificial horizon, is an instrument used in an aircraft to inform the pilot of the orientation of the aircraft relative to earth. It indicates pitch (fore and aft tilt) and bank (side to side tilt),… …
