Practice question
In the standard atmosphere, what is the relationship between true airspeed (TAS) and indicated airspeed (IAS) as altitude increases, assuming constant IAS?
- TAS increases with altitude because air density decreases
- TAS decreases with altitude because air density increases
- TAS and IAS remain equal at all altitudes in the standard atmosphere
- IAS increases with altitude for a constant TAS because air density decreases
Answer: A — TAS increases with altitude because air density decreases
