Airspeed indicators can usually color coded ranges or arcs that help the pilot operate the aircraft safely and efficiently. The markings depict crucial speeds such as normal flap operating range, which is indicated by a white arc. The speed of the aircraft is measured in knots or miles per hour. The newer, technologically advised indicators however, have a different depiction of airspeed and use modern sensor technology.

Common Applications: Every aircraft is fitted with an air speed indicator and is considered to be a key component inside the cockpit. On an older aircraft such as a Cessna Caravan pitot-static airspeed indicators are common. The pitot static air port is typically located under the wing where it is not affected by airflow during flight.

In newer, more modern aircraft such as commercial jets, the airspeed indicator could be GPS based or computerized. There are also different types of airspeed including indicated airspeed, calibrated airspeed, true airspeed, and groundspeed. The airspeed indicator provides the indicated airspeed, but it is important for the pilot to compare and be aware of the other airspeeds.
