Does high altitude operations effect the VSI/FPM ?
Asked by: RAUU 3089 views Aerodynamics, Aircraft Systems, Weather
Will the VSI be effected ? and show a greater or lesser then actual vertical speed at high altitude operations ?
Similar to when you come into land at a high altitude airport. Your true airspeed/Groundspeed is actually going to be faster, but your airspeed indicator will read the same.
Will the aircraft actually have a higher vertical FPM also ? and perhaps the VSI reads the same indications ? like the airspeed scenario above ?
