GENERAL AIRSPEED TERMINOLOGY AND SYMBOLS
KlAS
KTAS
Knots Calibrated Airspeed is indicated airspeed
corrected for position and instrument error and expressed
in knots. Knots calibrated airspeed is equal to KTAS 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 airframe.
Maximum Flap Extended Speed is the highest speed
permissible with wing flaps in a prescribed extended
position.
Maximum Operating Speed is the speed that may not
be deliberately 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 flight speed is
the minimum speed at which the airplane is controllable in
the landing configuration at the most forward center of
gravity.
Best Angle-of-Climb Speed is the speed which results in
the greatest gain of altitude in a given horizontal distance.
Best Rate-of-Climb Speed is the speed which results in
the greatest gain in altitude in a given time.
