,Indicated Airspeed (IAS) -C0RRECT ANS Speed directly read from instrument
Calibrated Airspeed (CAS) -C0RRECT ANS IAS corrected for installation and instrument error (usually
greatest at lower airspeeds)
True Airspeed (TAS) -C0RRECT ANS CAS corrected for altitude and temperature
Groundspeed (GS) -C0RRECT ANS TAS adjusted for wind. Actually speed of the plane over the ground
Vso -C0RRECT ANS Stalling speed at max landing weight
Vs1 -C0RRECT ANS Stalling speed at max takeoff weight
