1.6 List of definitions and abbreviations
The following words or expressions have been used or may be helpful in
particular Sections of this manual.
Basic speeds and their denotations:
IAS – “INDICATED AIRSPEED” means the speed of an air vessel
indicated by its airspeed indicator co-operating with a Pitot tube,
which is calibrated for the compressibility of an adiabatic airflow
in the conditions of the standard atmosphere at sea level, without
corrected errors of the airspeed measuring system. All IAS
values in this manual presume the airspeed measuring system
error to be zero.
CAS – “CALIBRATED AIRSPEED” means the speed of an air vessel
after aerodynamic and instrument correction. The calibrated
airspeed is equal to the true airspeed in the conditions of the
standard atmosphere at sea level.
TAS – “TRUE AIRSPEED” means the airspeed of an air vessel,
relative to the undisturbed airflow. It is CAS corrected by the
change of air density depending on altitude and temperature.
TAS = CAS
ρ
ρ
ο
ρ
- air density at the particular altitude

SECTION 1 „AERO” Sp. z o o.
GENERAL AT-3 R100
Page 1-8 SEPTEMBER, 2004
AEROPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL
V
NE
– Maximum never exceed airspeed. This is a limit speed, which
cannot be exceeded in any conditions.
V
NO
– Maximum structural cruising speed. This is a limit speed which
cannot be exceeded except in non-turbulent conditions, and then,
only with care.
V
A
– Manoeuvring speed. Above this speed, rapid or full displacement
of the control surfaces may in certain circumstances result in
exceeding the maximum permissible loads of the structure.
V
FE
–Maximum airspeed with wing flaps extended. This is the maximum
permitted airspeed of the aeroplane with wing flaps extended.
V
S1
– Stalling speed, or minimum airspeed of steady flight, at which the
aeroplane is steerable in any other configuration than the landing
configuration.
V
S0
– Stalling speed, or minimum airspeed of steady flight, at which the
aeroplane is steerable in the landing configuration.
V
X
– Airspeed for the maximum angle of climb. This is the airspeed, at
which the maximum increase of altitude over the shortest distance
may be achieved.
V
Y
– Airspeed for the maximum rate of climb. This is the airspeed at
which the maximum increase of altitude in the shortest time may
be achieved.

Meteorological denotations
ISA – International Standard Atmosphere.
ISA assumptions:
- The air is a dry perfect gas
- The temperature at sea level is 15 °C / 59°F,
- The pressure at sea level is 1013.25 hPa,
- The drop in the temperature is 3.25 °C per each 500 m of altitude
(3.564°F for each 1000 ft) in the range from sea l evel up to the
altitude, at which the temperature is
–56.5 °C / -70°F .
OAT – Outside Air Temperature. This is the temperature of the static air,
read from the thermometer, or received from the ground meteorological
service, with instrument error and air compressibility effect corrected.
Pressure altitude – This is the altitude read from the altimeter, preset to
the standard pressure at the average sea level (1013 hPa).
Denotation of power and rating
Take-off power – Maximum power.
Maximum continuous power – Maximum power permitted for the
whole flight.
Engine failure – any engine malfunction, engine stop included.
