The most dangerous combination of conditions are a heavy load, unfavorable wind, high temperature, high airport elevation and high humidity. We all know that as density altitude increases, there is a corresponding decrease in the power delivered by our airplane’s engine and the effectiveness of our propeller.įor a typical non-turbocharged light single-engine airplane, this can result in a takeoff roll that’s 25 percent longer for every 1,000 feet of elevation above sea level.

Indicated Airspeed Operation As already explained in our previous article on the aircraft pitot static system, the airspeed indicator is connected to the static and dynamic port. On this page we are going to take a look inside this airspeed indicator and see how it operates and what limitations and possible errors these instruments have and of which the pilot should be aware of during his day to day flying. Follow the next link for more detailed information on these important aircraft speeds. All other aircraft speeds are derived from this IAS, such as TAS (True airspeed) and GS, Ground speed. It is an indication of airspeed or dynamic pressure not corrected for any error like non standard temperature or pressure. This instrument provides the pilot with an indication of the airspeed past his or her airplane. Working with Airspeed Indicators in Aircraft.
