GENERAL AIRSPEED TERMINOLOGY AND SYMBOLS

KCAS 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.
KIAS Knots Indicated Airspeed is the speed shown on the
airspeed indicator and expressed in knots.
KTAS Knots True Airspeed is the airspeed expressed in knots
relative to undisturbed air which is KCAS corrected for
altitude and temperature.
V Maneuvering Speed is the maximum speed at which full or
A
abrupt
overstressing the airframe.
V Maximum Flap Extended Speed is the highest speed
FE
permissible with wing flaps in a prescribed extended
position.
V Maximum Structural Cruising Speed is the speed that
NO
should not be exceeded except in smooth air, then only with
caution.
V Never Exceed Speed is the speed limit that may not be
NE
exceeded at any time.
V Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed is the
S
minimum speed at which the airplane is controllable.
V Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed is the
SO
minimum speed at which the airplane is controllable in the
landing configuration at the most forward center of gravity.
V Best Angle of Climb Speed is the speed which results in the
x
greatest gain of altitude in a given horizontal distance.
V Best Rate of Climb Speed is the speed which results in the
Y
greatest gain in altitude in a given time.
