TAS is obtained from EAS by correcting for:
  • A
    position and instrument errors.
  • B
    compressibility.
  • C
    instrument error.
  • D
    density.
To obtain TAS from EAS you need to apply a density correction. The dynamic pressure is a function of airspeed and density of the air. The ASI being calibrated for ISA conditions, any other air density will indicate an erroneous airspeed on the ASI. For instance, density reduces with increasing altitude and the IAS, and thus EAS will become progressively lower than the TAS.
