Airspeed is the speed of an aircraft relative to the air.
Specific measures of airspeed:
- Calibrated airspeed (CAS), indicated airspeed, corrected for instrument error and position error.
- Equivalent airspeed(EAS), the airspeed at sea level which represents the same dynamic pressure as that flying at the true airspeed at altitude
- Indicated airspeed (IAS), the airspeed read directly from the airspeed indicator on an aircraft
- True airspeed (TAS), the speed of an aircraft relative to the airmass in which it flies
