Instrumentationmedium#410
At high speed, the ASI reads in terms of:
A
True airspeed (TAS)
B
Calibrated airspeed (CAS), which needs corrections for compressibility and density to get TAS
CorrectC
Ground speed
D
Mach number
Explanation
The ASI reads indicated/calibrated airspeed; at high speed, compressibility error becomes significant and must be corrected to obtain EAS and TAS.
