In reverse, the airspeed indicator will show a decrease in airspeed when the aircraft descends.
When input to an airspeed indicator, impact pressure is used to provide a calibrated airspeed reading.
The starboard wing was extensively damaged, the pilot had insufficient aileron power, and both airspeed indications were highly inaccurate.
Lower-powered aircraft may begin the maneuver from a shallow dive, to increase airspeed.
Information displayed to passengers through the entertainment system often gives the aircraft ground speed rather than airspeed.
If the wind shear is of sufficient magnitude, a bird can climb into the wind gradient, trading ground speed for height, while maintaining airspeed.
If the wind gradient is of sufficient magnitude, a bird can climb into the wind gradient, trading ground speed for height, while maintaining airspeed.
An aircraft flying at 250 knots airspeed for 2 hours has flown 500 nautical miles through the air.
