Work out indicated airspeed instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
This reverses the true airspeed relationship: calibrated airspeed is true airspeed multiplied by the square root of the density ratio, then the position error correction from the aircraft flight manual converts CAS to the indicated value you will see on the dial.
Indicated airspeed
CAS = TAS x sqrt(sigma); IAS = CAS + position error correction
Aviation results are planning estimates only. Always verify take-off, landing, fuel, weight and balance figures against the certified Aircraft Flight Manual, current performance charts and applicable aviation regulations before flight.
Static and pitot pressure errors caused by airflow around the airframe. The AFM lists the correction, which is usually a few knots and varies with speed and configuration.
Stall, flap and manoeuvring limits all depend on dynamic pressure, which is what the indicated reading represents, so those limits stay at the same IAS at any altitude.
