Find the linear equation which expresses true airspeed


The airspeed indicator on some aircraft is affected by changes in atmospheric pressure at different altitudes. Pilot can evaluate true airspeed by ovserving indicated airspeed and adding to it about 2% forevery 1,000 feet of altitude.

i) If the pilot maintains the constant reading of 200 miles per hour on airspeed indicator as aircraft climbs from sea level to an altitude of 10,000 feet, write the linear equation which expresses true airspeed T (Miles per hour) in terms of altitudeA (Thousands of feet).

ii) What would be true airspeed of aircraft at 6,500 feet?

iii) Find slope of graph of equation found in part A? Interpret verbally (or write what you would say).
