Airspeed Indicator Markings | Finding True Airspeed

Learn about airspeed indicator markings and important airspeeds that are not marked. Airspeed markings include the different arcs, bands, and radial lines on an airspeed indicator in another episode of my Learn To Fly Here series. V speeds such as Vso, Vs1, Vfe, Va, and Vle are covered. All the speeds on the airspeed indicator and covered as well as how to computer true airspeed on an indicator with a built-in true airspeed calculator.
Can flaps be extended beyond the white arc? Sometimes. This video will give the answer to that question and where to find out if an airplane has this capability.
This video was made with Microsoft Flight Simulator and is in no way intended to replace instruction from a qualified flight instructor.
If you are preparing for a Private Pilot checkride, this oral exam guide is a must buy. I used it myself back in the 90s and had all my students use it to prepare for checkrides when working as a Flight Instructor - amzn.to/3Cgbl7X

Great video. Explained just what I needed to know.

[@ElliotCassar]

Excellent video. Thank you for this series!

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

You are welcome. There will be plenty more videos like this one coming to the Learn To Fly Here series.

[@DimitriKiselkov]

Very nice summary. Thanks!

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

Thank you.

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

Out standing video! And on point, 😁🛫 are you surprised I said that?

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

It’s hard to mess it up when there aren’t any snowflakes or scoreboards on the screen. ;)

[@foxtrotalphaaviation]

Great explanation

[@GumperVanLier]

Great educational video.

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

Thank you. That’s the goal for most of my videos. More information could have been added but keeping the video short was intentional.

[@TBizzleII]

This video was very well done as always. I have wondered how to set the Piper Arrow airspeed indicator with temperature and you explained it well. Thank you sir!

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

Now you know how to compute TAS. This started as a video that would be seemingly quick to make but was not.

[@AB-ko9en]

This is very interesting, but are people really applying this? I’m not seeing it. With that said, you are definitely getting a subscribe from me.❤

Some sim users learn all this and more, but student pilots watch these as well and I also made the video for them. Thank you for the sub!
