Air Speed

Air Speed of Aircraft is the Speed in respect to Air surrounded by the Aircraft by which aircraft travels. there are many types of Air Speed

Like car traveling over the road same as aircraft over land in air.

What’s is the Relationship between both of them.

if winds are Head Winds the Ground Speed will be Less then Air Speed. 0218 Gray Frame Corner Gray Frame Corner

Then Ground Speed > Air Speed
