So in some publications, True Airspeed is defined as
1) "CAS or EAS corrected for non standard temperature."
In others...
2)"CAS or EAS corrected for non standard temperature and pressure."
OR
3)"CAS or EAS corrected for non standard temperature and pressure altitude."
So the last one makes the most sense to me, in that you're using pressure altitude and temperature to calculate TAS and not so much an altimeter setting. But technically, you are using the altimeter setting to find pressure altitude, so does this make #2 AND #3, above, correct?
Today I figured TAS only considered temperature and not altimeter setting, thus making #1 and #3 the only correct answers. Somehow I glazed over the fact ambient pressure is used to determine pressure altitude.
So I guess I just answered my own discush.
:crazy:
