My flight speed

[Jerome_B75]

Hello people, I have to ask again. I can not fly faster than 350 kts with any aircraft. Meanwhile, most of me around in the air can fly much faster. why can this be?

You cannot fly faster than this in a commercial airliner for good reason. There’s no issue here. Remember Ground Speed and Air Speed are different entities. Are you sure you aren’t confusing the two?

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 dur…
