Before I get corrected by a bunch of people, IAS stall speed remains the
same regardless of altitude. Not sure what I was thinking when I wrote
that. Right after I sent that I thought "I wonder why I never thought
of that before". It occurred to me when I woke up at 1AM and something
was nagging at me....that's a basic premise of IAS....stall speed is
always the same, regardless of altitude. I've gotten so used to flying
the iEFIS and having a true air speed indication, the two have converged
in my little bitty mind.
I think this question is even on the Basic Airman Knowledge test (I
probably made that up too). My only excuse is that I started mixing GPS
speed with IAS, and that I'm getting dumber by the day...
