Virtavia C-17A P3DV4.5 True Airspeed

Featured Replies

Using this aircraft for a tour sponsored by me virtual airline.

On the PFD are readouts of mach #, IAS, and ground speed, but not true airspeed.

Anyone know if there is a readout of TAS on this model?

Thank you,

Eric Dziura

The reason for knowing TAS is to find groundspeed. If there is no wind, they are the same. Why would you want to know TAS if you know GS?

Erm, the main reason is aircraft performance. Performance tables are usually based on TAS.
