AIRSPEED EXPLAINED EASY - [Difference between Airspeed and Ground Speed, easy to understand]

Airspeed is the relative velocity between your aircraft and the air. In this video, I want to make sure you understand what an Airspeed is and what is the difference compared to Ground Speed. In aviation, you can find 5 different airspeeds: IAS: Indicated Airspeed GS: Ground Speed CAS: Calibrated Airspeed TAS: True Airspeed EAS: Equivalent Airspeed. In order to understand what the Airspeed is we have to think as the Airplane thinks. What the aircraft needs to generate lift and fly is an airflow that goes in the opposite direction, so How can you generate this Airflow? You can either accelerate the aircraft and be the moving part into a still air situation or you can be the standing part into a moving airflow (headwind situation) The Airspeed will be the same however the speed that the aircraft has relative to the ground, also called Ground speed, will change substantially. In the First example (still air) you will be required to generate the airflow by accelerating the aircraft, by doing so your Ground Speed will increase and will be equal to the Airspeed. In the Second Example (headwind Situation) the wind component will create the airflow required, so you can literally take off (if you have enough headwind) having a ground speed of zero. The same applies when you are flying during the cruise, two aircraft keeping a constant Ground Speed will have a different Airspeed if one is flying in still air and the other has a headwind component. So the pilots flying with the same Ground speed will read 2 different Airspeeds in the Airspeed indicator because of the wind component. #PILOTCLIMB The opposite is also true if you have a tail component. In this case, at a constant ground speed, you will read a lower airspeed if you have a tailwind component.
