June 16, 200619 yr When reading the spec for an (RW) aircraft, if they say the cruising speed is 200 kts, is that a speed at altitude or ground speed?

June 17, 200619 yr Cruising speed is True Air Speed (TAS). Groundspeed is wind dependant. Have a great Day/Night where ever you are! :-wave http://www.3dflite.com/dac/img/BANNER-soccer.gif Student Pilot - YSBKC152/Tomahawk/Warrior/Archer/Duchess66.3 hrs Total
