Which of the following does not belong with the others as an airspeed in the correction chain?

Ground speed

Indicated airspeed

Calibrated airspeed

True airspeed

  • A.True airspeed
  • B.Ground speed
  • C.Indicated airspeed
  • D.Calibrated airspeed

Answer: B

Correct answer: Ground speed

The correction chain runs indicated to calibrated to equivalent to true, each step removing one effect of the instrument or of the air. Ground speed lies outside it: it is true airspeed combined with the wind vector, and it is a navigation quantity. No amount of air data correction will produce it, and no wind correction belongs anywhere in the chain.
