John Tullamarine, Noooo. I am not knowingly confusing TAS with EAS. As I said above, EAS corrects for instrument, position and compressibility, and for a given TAS at altitude, this is the equivalent flow of air over the airframe, ie what your hand would feel out of the window, allowing for compression.

It is EAS that is important in 1/2RhoV2SCl questions, as that is what the wing feels.

Keep it coming folks!
