DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS
(a) Airspeeds
CAS:
Calibrated Airspeed. Indicated airspeed, corrected for installation and
instrument errors. CAS equals TAS at standard atmospheric conditions at MSL.
IAS:
Indicated Airspeed as shown on an airspeed indicator.
KCAS:
CAS in knots.
KIAS:
IAS in knots.
TAS:
True Airspeed. The speed of the airplane relative to the air. TAS is CAS
corrected for errors due to altitude and temperature.
v
A
:
Maneuvering Speed. Full or abrupt control surface movement is not permissible
above this speed.
v
FE
:
Max. Flaps Extended Speed. This speed must not be exceeded with the given
flap setting.
v
NE
:
Never Exceed Speed in smooth air. This speed must not be exceeded in any
operation.
v
NO
Maximum Structural Cruising Speed. This speed may be exceeded only in
smooth air, and then only with caution.
v
S
:
Stalling Speed, or the minimum continuous speed at which the airplane is still
controllable in the given configuration.
v
S0
:
Stalling Speed, or the minimum continuous speed at which the airplane is still
controllable in the landing configuration.
v
x
:
Best Angle-of-Climb Speed.
v
y
:
Best Rate-of-Climb Speed.
