How to calculate True Airspeed (TAS) for this question?

Course=320, GS= 200 kt, Wind v=260 / 30 kt what's the TAS and heading? ThanksHow to calculate True Airspeed (TAS) for this question?
Plug the wind component into your E6-b (260/30) Rotate the course (320) to the index, place the G/S (200) under the grommet. The wind dot that you marked should show an 8 degree correction angle (to the left, so you'd subtract that from 320, giving you 312 for the heading). The dot will also be at the 216 kt ring. That would be you true airspeed for the purposes of this problem.





Now, in order to get the true airspeed that you want, you'll have to know what altitude and temperature that you'll be flying. Just go into the aircraft manual and consult the cruise data, and set the power accordingly.





Cherokee:





The airspeed component of the wind triangle problem is always true airspeed. If you know your track, wind direction/speed and groundspeed, you just work the wind triangle backward. (Now I'm assuming that the 320 course mentioned in the problem is the actual and intended track of the aircraft over the ground.) You can crosscheck this by applying the altitude and temperature corrections to your CAS. The numbers will come out the same. Try it on some long cross-country. It works. Bear in mind that this will be the TAS that you鈥檙e doing. It may not be the TAS that you desire. For that you head for the cruise data.How to calculate True Airspeed (TAS) for this question?
need to know tail wind ?
You need the outside air temperature and altitude to determine TRUE airspeed, for by definition, TAS is calibrated airspeed corrected for temperature and altitude.


.


grumpy, are you saying that at 5000' and 18 C your TAS would be the same as if the temp was -44c given the posters info??/





The instructions that came with my E6b gives the following directions to determine true airspeed., and thus have taught it that way in the classroom, am I mis informed??





True airspeed (TAS) is the actual speed of the airplane through the air.


1. TAS is found by correcting calibrated airspeed (CAS) for density altitude.


2. See your airplane's Pilot's Operating Handbook to determine CAS based on indicated airspeed.





1. Generally, there is little error at cruise speeds; i.e., CAS equals indicated airspeed (IAS).


2. Thus, as a practical matter, you may usually use IAS rather than CAS to determine true airspeed.





True airspeed and density altitude can be calculated on the calculator side of your flight computer.





Rotate the inner scale until the numbers on the inner and outer scales match.





1. The window that is between ';1:30'; and ';1:50'; on the hour scale is labeled ';DENSITY ALTITUDE'; and the arrow points to the density altitude.





1. The numbers that rotate through this window are in thousands of feet and range from -10 (or -10,000 ft.) to 45 (or +45,000 ft.).





2. The window on the right side below ';2:00'; and ';2:30'; on the hour scale is used to set the OAT (above the window) over the pressure altitude (numbers in the window).





1. The OAT is in 5掳C increments from +50掳C on the left side to -70掳C on the right side.





2. The numbers in the window are in thousands of feet and range from -2 (or -2,000 ft.) to 50 (or 50,000 ft.).





# EXAMPLE: What is the TAS and density altitude if the IAS is 130 kt., OAT is -15掳C, and the pressure altitude is 5,000 ft.?





1. Using the inner window on the right side, locate the OAT of -15掳C and rotate the disk so the pressure altitude of 5,000 ft. (which is labeled ';5'; on the scale) is under -15掳C, as shown in the figure.





2. In the window labeled ';DENSITY ALTITUDE,'; read the density altitude of approximately 2,500 ft.





3. Locate the IAS of 130 kt., or ';13,'; on the inner scale. Without moving the disk, read the TAS on the outer scale opposite the IAS, which is 135 kt.





or..........True airspeed (TAS) as determined from the performance chart(s) in your airplane's Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH).





Just wondering.......................








with the added info, your answere makes more sense!
God Knows better.
