Airspeed indicator system calibration:
As requested by ASTM F-2245-04 §9.1 all flight speeds are presented as calibrated airspeeds in miles
per hours (MPH). As the calibrated airspeed cannot be usually determined by a simple reading of the
aircraft airspeed indicator, corresponding Indicated airspeeds in miles per hours (MPH) are also
presented in this document. All airspeed values in this handbook assume no instrument error.

WARNING
The stall speed mentioned above are with wings level. Once any angle of bank
(e.g. turn) is encountered the stall speed is significantly increasing.
example: angle of bank
60° …….
V
S
= 73 MPH
The more bank
– the higher the stall speed. This simple rule is especially important when a turn at
maximum permitted angle of bank (60°) is performed. Do not start the turn until you have sufficient
airspeed reserve
– recommended entry speed is 92 MPH. Full throttle is also essential to have sufficient
thrust reserve as the drag is increasing during a steep turn.
