Frequently Asked Questions

What is true airspeed?

True airspeed (TAS) is the actual speed of an aircraft relative to the air mass in which it is flying, adjusted for altitude and temperature.

How do I use the True Airspeed Calculator?

Simply input your indicated airspeed, altitude, and outside air temperature into the calculator, then click 'Calculate' to get your true airspeed.

Why is true airspeed important for pilots?

Knowing true airspeed is crucial for navigation, fuel calculations, and determining the aircraft's performance in different meteorological conditions.

What is the difference between indicated airspeed and true airspeed?

Indicated airspeed is what the aircraft's speedometer shows, whereas true airspeed accounts for changes in air density due to altitude and temperature.

Is the True Airspeed Calculator free to use?

Yes, the True Airspeed Calculator is completely free to use and accessible on Tool World.
