Note: Calculations are based on aircraft performance tables and automatically adjusted for density altitude and weight. Performance may vary based on pilot technique, aircraft condition, and atmospheric conditions. Always refer to your POH for official performance data.
Ground Speed Calculation: Ground speed is calculated using the horizontal component of your velocity vector. The TAS value is taken from the middle altitude segment of the performance table as a representative value for the entire climb. While TAS varies slightly across segments (typically 1-2 kt), using a single representative value provides a good approximation with minimal error. Wind correction is then applied to this TAS to calculate ground speed.
