What Does TAS Stand For?
TAS stands for True Air Speed
TAS, or True Air Speed, refers to the actual speed of an aircraft relative to the air through which it is flying. It is a crucial measurement for pilots, as it provides a correct indication of the aircraft's performance and fuel efficiency by accounting for factors such as altitude and air density. TAS is essential for flight planning, navigation, and ensuring safe operation, particularly in varying atmospheric conditions.
