So there I am circling in clear weather with a frown on my face. The weather was good with scattered cumulus floating around. axied about a thousand miles to FACTS the General Aviation parking area where I got gas and looked over the weather. My true airspeed, 68% power, 6,500 feet, was 161 mph. Lots of us do.

Aircraft contain all kinds of wonderous indicators and instruments to measure velocity, altitude, weather conditions, etc. However, the single most important aircraft instrument is probably the airspeed indicator. True airspeed (TAS) is the difference between the indicated airspeed and actual speed.

Additionally, a pilot should report any of the following events:: When vacating any previously assigned altitude or flight level for a newly assigned altitude or flight level ( AIM 5-3-3 ) When an altitude change will be made if operating on a clearance specifying VFR-on-top. ( AIM 5-3-3 ) When an approach has been missed. (

Isn’t it interesting to know that based partly on measurements from weather balloons, you can predict the way the winds aloft are going to cause your plane to drift as you fly from point to point, and that you can correct for that as you fly? Winds on the surface, and winds at altitude: both concepts are covered in the nav-log lesson.
