Airspeeds

Assignment Sheet No. 4.4.1A

INTRODUCTION

Aircraft operate in a dynamic environment. To ensure flight safety and accurate navigation

solutions, aircrew must be familiar with the principles of pressure and altitude in order to

understand and apply them to an accurate True Airspeed solution. As one of the four basic

elements of DR, an understanding of airspeeds allows the aircrew to accurately maintain a

DR plot.
