In these cases the velocity at intersection with the airspeed axis is between 10 and 25% of the maximum velocity.
Approaching an airfield at an uncomfortably slow speed he looked over the pilot's shoulder and asked what the airspeed indicator showed.
The student's first reaction had to be to control his aircraft and check the sharp yaw and drop in airspeed before going through the drills to deal with engine failure.
Also, further evaluate the equivalent airspeed and compression tactics for heavy bombardment aircraft.
The airspeeds and glide ratios of paragliders are generally lower still than the typical hang gliders, and so their cross-country flights are even shorter.
A glider's glide ratio varies with airspeed, but there is a maximum value which is frequently quoted.
During the flight, these parameters are then used to compute relevant aircraft performance parameters, such as airspeed, altitude, weight, and center of gravity position.
An aircraft flying at 250 knots airspeed for 2 hours has flown 500 nautical miles through the air.
