Knots Calibrated Airspeed is indicated airspeed
corrected for position
and
instrument error
and
expressed
in
knots. Knots calibrated airspeed is equal
to
KT
AS
in
standard atmosphere at sea level.
Knots Indicated Airspeed
is
the speed shown
on
the
airspeed indicator and expressed
in
knots.
Knots True Airspeed is the airspeed expressed
in
knots relative to undisturbed air which is
KCAS
corrected for altitude and temperature.
Maneuvering Speed is the maximum speed
at
which
full or abrupt control movements may
be
used without
overstressing the airirame.
Maximum Flap Extended Speed
is
the highest
speed permissible with wing flaps
in
a prescribed
extended position.
Maximum Structural Cruising Speed
is
the speed
that should not
be
exceeded except
in
smooth air,
then only with caution.
Never Exceed Speed is the speed
limit that may not
be exceeded at any time.
Stalling Speed
or
the
minimum
steady
flight
speed
is
the minimum speed at which the airplane
is
controllable.
Stalling
Speed
or
the
minimum
steady
tlight
speed
is the minimum speed at which the airplane is
controllable
in
the landing configuration
at
the most
forward center of gravity.
Best Angle-ot-Climb Speed is the speed which
results
in
the greatest gain of altitude
in
a given
horizontal distance.
Best Rate-ot-Climb Speed
is
the speed which results
in
the greatest gain
in
altitude
in
a given time.
