Airspeeds?

[tcco94]

Does anyone have a website that tells the airspeeds for which altitudes on most of the airplanes? Or how ever you refer so you dont go overspeed.

Thanks  ;)

On the dial of most aircraft they have a needle that indicates the mach speed, in jets you have to remain below this. Now you have to realise there is a difference between Indicated Airspeed ( which is what that dial show ) and true airspeed whhich your GPS or FMS should show. Its quiet simple maths. You ground speed increases by approximately 2% of you IAS for every 1000ft. So if you are at 10000 ft and doing 100KTS iAS, then you airspeed will be. 120 kts GS +- wind variations. ie at 10000 ft your airspeed has inreased by 20% of 100kts, i just used easy figures so at 20 000 ft you GS will be 40% of 100kts which is 140 kts and so on.

or you could set it to show true airspeed in the cockpit panel

Well that does make since but hard to go with.
I thought there was some website giving speeds for altitudes on all aircrafts  :-?

I have not had a chance to try it yet, but here is a link to a airspeed calculator.
