This video is the second part of the series "Airspeeds Made Simple": It presents Airspeed Measurement Theory. The video explains in detail what airspeeds such as EAS, TAS, CAS, IAS, and GS actually mean and how they are calculated.

Errata:Slide 1/18: To = 288.15 K, not 273.15 K.

WARNING: In this video, about a onehour lecture is compressed into 15 minutes. Can you handle it? If you are smart you won't complain because you'll know how to press the PAUSE button to absorb Dr. Gudmundsson's wisdom. Do you want to complain...well, just know it has "I'm too dumb to understand written all over it." :) Just kidding. The reason the video covers the material so quickly is Youtube's 15 limit (yes, I know one can upload longer videos, I just think 15 minutes is ideal length for these videos).

NOTE: Comments are welcome but are censored to prevent viewer chats from spinning into arguments and name calling. If approved, your comments may take a day or two to show up.

The video uses excerpts from Dr. Gudmundsson's textbook, "General Aviation Aircraft Design Applied Methods and Procedures," published by Elsevier in 2013.
