Airspeed Vs Groundspeed

[@Geezimac]

Nice seeing the old Flybe Dash-8...nice to see you back

[@pilot_ems]

Thank you! It’s great to be back ☺️

[@jamiedbg51]

Brilliant! I finally understand now! Thank you so so so so much for taking the time to explain that. You are awesome and explained it at a great pace and explained it brilliantly thank you so much!

[@blue28119]

Great to see you back Emma and looking beautiful and super smart too

[@nk7155]

Great explanation!

[@pilotnadeen8231]

Great explanation ❤

Good to see u back

How does increasing or decreasing altitude affect ground speed?

[@PaulEllisBIGDATA]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!❤

[@yosefjabbour6530]

Hi amazing video...cool 🧑🏽‍✈️✈️🤘🏼 but I wanna ask is indicated airpseed same as airspeed? Also GS takes the longitudinal component of the wind true along the airplanes longitudinal axis....the other component will rotate the airplane or drift it...

[@pilot_ems]

Yes, I just wanted to talk about the basic aspect of airspeed and groundspeed, so I kept the video simple, so TAS is airspeed in this video! (Of course there are other airspeeds but that’s a whole other video!) ☺️

[@JimmyLeeJrACTOR]

That's if the earth is flat, right? Because if it were round, would the ground speed be slower the higher the altitude?

[@lucasmerritt5964]

Please don’t confuse me anymore😭

[@KozmikSenfoni]

Now, a jumbo that I drove through with about 80 km seemed to be suspended in the air, how is it possible for that plane to have a counter-wind resistance and to glide slowly like that?

[@iamtoolazytoeditmyprofile]

Because it still is producing wind over the airfoils The thrust is equal to the wind pushing against the aircraft, but that doesn’t mean wind can’t go over the airfoils.

Thank you

One question: It wouldn't be that exact of a calculation, right? I'm imagining that with a 100kt tailwind, certainly all 100kts of that aren't going to translate into foward moment for the plane, right? I'm assuming some percentage of that WILL, but that likely a large percentage of that tailwind will also just pass around the plane? So a 250kt airspeed plus a 100kt tailwould would result in my like a 300kt ground speed. Is this accurate?

[@saifalikhan3843]

that is why it is ground speed not true airspeed i think it is used for calculation of performance for example take off and landing ground speed would be nice cause it shows speed of air moving through wings

[@pilot_ems]

No, in fact, it is translated into ground speed. The airspeed is relative to the air within which it is flying. So a 100kt tailwind wouldn’t change the airspeed, but would increase the groundspeed by 100kts 👌🏼

[@conned]

The winds push the engines n the plane now rides or sit with the 100kt TW, if its directly TW, KTAS 250+tW100=GS350, approximate. If that TW comes from behind but at an angle, then there is the Wind Components, not all 100kts of wind will push from behind, depending on where the winds hits the fuselage n TAIL , you might have ，say,50kts TW n 45kts X-winds (X-wnd),GS now is a vector answer, around 250+45TW, because the nose of the aircraft is now swimg into the x wnd. Think white water kayaking. Paddles are rudder or ailerons. Sorry to hijack your thread, Captain

[@helldivermando]

Thank you for taking the time to explain. I was jyst recommended this video after watching one that was talking about the difference of IAS, CAS and TAS. When you are saying “airspeed is the speed the AC has relative to the air around it” are you referring to IAS? That is still a little hard to understand. Thank you.

[@helldivermando]

One additional question: my instruments would show IAS and GS which is more reliable? I thought GS? 🤯

[@douglasnisbet1189]

Are you a captain in Wizz air now? Or still co pilot?

[@viswajithsanthosh777]

TRI

[@yosefjabbour6530]

Hello Pilot ems, great, but i wanna ask something technical...i was told pitot tubes must be heated but static port may or may be not...i wonder why the A320/21 and neo maybe have heated static ports while boing 737 doesn't.... Hmm...isnt this extra cost extra maintenace or extra time or hmm...

[@conned]

All ADR ,pitot Static sources are heated,.

[@duggantv777]

Surely at 0.54s what you are saying is the power has to be increased to maintain the same airspeed? How can it possibly be the case that the nose of the plane gets hit with a force of 100 knots of headwind, and its airspeed remains exactly the same (all other things being equal)? Isn't that change in the Power a vital piece of information?

[@frequinnasty7303]

The example shes using is a constant head wind. not a gust.

[@wasimjabbour6594]

Good informative video, but the Equation might need to be included

[@stevemcilroy.62]

It’s really baffling to be honest. Here’s an extract from the literature I’m reading as I’m studying for my exam, for Paramotor flying, it’s clearly not the same for aircraft, thanks. AIRSPEED The speed of the aircraft relative to the air. If the wind was perfectly still, the airspeed would be equal to the ground speed, but with a tail wind, the airspeed would be less than the ground speed, and with a headwind the airspeed will be more than the ground speed. Airspeed has everything to do with flying, as the airspeed generates the lift required to fly. If we don’t touch controls/trimmers/speedbar etc, then the airspeed will always remain the same, whatever direction we are travelling despite the any head or tailwind.

No offence but standing talking to a camera in ur home etc wearing a pilots uniform just gives the impression of someone who is a show off and cocky, no offence but its off putting and completely unnecessary. Pilots are the worst for this
