===Low-speed flight=== At low speeds and altitudes, IAS and CAS are close to [[equivalent airspeed]] (EAS). <math>\rho_0 (EAS)^2 = \rho (TAS)^2</math> TAS can be calculated as a function of EAS and air density: <math>\mathrm{TAS} =\frac { \mathrm{EAS}}{\sqrt{\frac{\rho}{\rho_0}}}</math> where :<math>\mathrm{TAS}</math> is true airspeed, :<math>\mathrm{EAS}</math> is equivalent airspeed, :<math>\rho_0</math> is the air density at sea level in the [[International Standard Atmosphere]] (15 Β°C and 1013.25 hectopascals, corresponding to a density of 1.225 kg/m<sup>3</sup>), :<math>\rho</math> is the density of the air in which the aircraft is flying.
