If you’re aiming to get comfortable with managing both airspeed and altitude in flight, you’ll need to understand the difference between indicated airspeed (IAS) and true airspeed (TAS). Your speed can be measured in different ways, including indicated airspeed, true airspeed, equivalent airspeed, and ground speed.

The student pilot may initially struggle to understand the functions of an E6B flight computer. But pilots around the globe rely on this indispensable gadget for charting their flights, crunching numbers to determine time in transit, fuel usage, and necessary adjustments for wind shifts. Thats your true airspeed.

DC = arctan(TAS/Vc) Where TAS is the True Airspeed. The result will be the angle in degrees that you must correct into the wind. __ You should be aware that these calculations are nowadays often done with flight computers or specialised software, although understanding their basis is fundamental for a pilot.
