Calibrated Airspeed in flight mechanics refers to the airspeed measurement corrected for instrument and installation errors. It accounts for inaccuracies in the airspeed indicator due to factors like instrument calibration and aircraft-specific installation effects, providing a more accurate representation of the actual airspeed.
Where:
- ρSL is the density at sea level in kg/m3.
- PSL is the static pressure at sea level in pa,
- Δp is the pressure difference (total pressure-static pressure ) in Pa.
- Vc is the Calibrated airspeed in m/s.
