GENERAL

 

The data approved by Lancair International and 

the limitations presented herein are those established by 

Lancair as applicable to the Lancair IV model aircraft.

The airspeeds quoted are given conventional nomen

-

clature, are shown in knots, calibrated airspeed, and 

assumes zero instrument error.

   NOTE

It is imperative that you calibrate your airspeed 

system (static and pitot) to provide the corrections to 

the values shown below in KCAS.  There is instru-

ment (gauge) error that needs to be factored in also 

to reach KIAS
