I spun up my inertia to get groundspeed indication to kind of give me a rough guess. From Wordnik.com. [CNN Transcript Apr 14, 2001] Reference
The tower was showing a red light and the headset was still dead but I was on my own now and the runway began blurring as the groundspeed rose. From Wordnik.com. [The Sinkiang Executive]
Many of its riders were striding along to enhance their groundspeed, but I stood still at the far right side, since I was in no particular hurry. From Wordnik.com. [Sagittarius Whorl]
Also the ground is virtually flat on both sides of the border and you can cross it at Mach 95, or six hundred knots calibrated groundspeed, just below military power and sonic boom. '. From Wordnik.com. [The Sinkiang Executive]
Somewhere, on the internet, I can type in a flight number, and somehow it pops up with a picture showing me where they are, and enough detail on the plane to tell me it has a groundspeed of 554mph - fortunately they're doing that out of the way at 36,000 feet. From Wordnik.com. [42 entries from July 2007] Reference
It depends on whether they're talking nautical miles or statute, and true airspeed, indicated airspeed or groundspeed. From Wordnik.com. [Salon] Reference
Based on analysis of radar data, the National Transportation and Safety Board reported the groundspeed just before impact as 510 knots. From Wordnik.com. [Propeller Most Popular Stories] Reference
Input your groundspeed and current altitude, plus desired altitude and descent rate and you'll know just when to start a smooth descent. From Wordnik.com. [Aero-News Network] Reference
Only, once we think about it, we're only at cruise airspeed or a little below (if we did slow down because of the discomfort with the groundspeed). From Wordnik.com. Reference
If Transport Canada audits the company and I have filled in the departure time and ETA but not my predicted groundspeed then someone probably gets fined. From Wordnik.com. [Cockpit Conversation] Reference
When the pilot adds the two vectors of her airspeed and the windspeed, she gets her groundspeed: the airplane's actual velocity relative to the ground below. From Wordnik.com. [Yahoo! Answers: Latest Questions] Reference
"At 0752: 12, the aircraft stopped climbing when at 7600 ft with a groundspeed of 155 kts and commenced descending about 13 seconds later," the report found. From Wordnik.com. [AustralianIT.com.au | Top Stories] Reference
During the landing roll-out, the flight data recorder shows the aircraft veered to the left of the centreline and departed the end of the runway at a groundspeed of 63kt. From Wordnik.com. [HEADLINES] Reference
I go back and forth like this at 5 to 10 knots groundspeed, being careful to avoid obstructions like wires, fans, poles, tall bordering trees, hillside rock outcroppings, and buildings. From Wordnik.com. [An Eclectic Mind] Reference
If we are flying along at around 100-115 miles per hour groundspeed, we would immediately reduce power and start a 180 degree turn to the side of the aircraft that the suspicious item was last seen. From Wordnik.com. [WRAL.com Top Stories] Reference
It's the same down low, except that we're all exhilarated by the groundspeed and have trouble accepting that this airplane is truly only a modest performer so if we don't get the nose back down to normal climb attitude and apply full power, we're going to stall. From Wordnik.com. Reference
Thus far we've learned that we don't want to slow down when we are flying low, because we've got to climb eventually, and that the laws of aerodynamics don't change when the pilot gets excited with a first whiff of perceived groundspeed, so the pull up has to be appropriate. From Wordnik.com. Reference
