TAS
Hi,
I'm just going through Air Navigation studies at the moment and I have a question on True Air Speed.
TAS is defined as the movement of the aircraft relative to the air mass. Does wind play a part in this, or does the wind velocity cancel itself out with drag?
For example. In a small PA28, travelling with 2300RPM set, it is said to give roughly 100Kts TAS. If flying in to a head wind, will the same power setting still give 100ks TAS, despite the slower speed (presume it is a slower Ground Speed).
I will ask my instructor when I see him, I was just wondering.
Thanks for your help.
Graham
