Sample Computation (continuation)Note that in this case there is a difference <strong>of</strong> 50.56 knotsbetween IAS and TAS.As the aircraft climbs the value <strong>of</strong> TAS increases even ifIAS remains constant. True <strong>Air</strong>speed (TAS) is needed toestimate Ground Speed (GS).GS is ultimately responsible for the travel time betweenairports and thus it is important to learn how to estimateTAS for any feasible flight condition.Later analysis will introduce more details on how toestimate travel times between Origin-Destination airportsVirginia Tech - <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> Laboratory 21
