Homework Statement


An aircraft has IAS 200 knot at pressure altitude 25 kft. Change in Vp is +1 knot. If standard day, find the TAS.

We probably need more info to be of any help. Can you define the problem more completely? What is meant by "Change in Vp is +1 knot."? I assume that IAS = indicated air speed, and TAS is true air speed?

What does being at 25000 feet elevation do to change IAS so it does not match TAS?
