Is that realistic?

At the moment i fly from Ghuangzou to Los Angeles and 2H away from the coast i see 145kts tailwind that pushes me up to a GS of 647kts over the pacific.

I think the speed of sound is around that 666kts when i remember that right, does that mean that i am flying a bit und the speed of sound?

Ground speed is not the same at airspeed.

Understanding different types of speeds

There are 4 different types of speed we are going to be covering in this tutorial. Indicated airspeed (IAS) True airspeed (TAS) Ground speed (GS) Mach speed (M) Indicated airspeed (IAS) [image] Indicated airspeed is what we see inside the plane. This is how we judge when to rotate, when we are approaching a stall. Or any other critical flight dynamic. There is also such thing as Calibrated airspeed (CAS) which is IAS corrected for Installation errors. We don’t have that in IF, but duri…
