where

   is indicated airspeed in knots
   is ISA sea-level speed of sound (661.48 knots)
   is ISA sea-level pressure (101 325 pascals)
   is dynamic pressure
   is ratio of specific heats (1.4)

where

   is mach number
   is static pressure
   is dynamic pressure


At levels below that where  :


At levels above that where  :

where

   is max operating IAS
   is ISA sea-level speed of sound (661.48 knots)
   is static pressure
   is ISA sea-level pressure
   is max allowable EAS in knots
   is max operating mach number
   is ratio of specific heats (1.4)


where

   is element temperature in °celsius
   is element resistance at t°celsius
   is resistance at 0°celsius (usually 500 ohms)
   is 0.003832
   is 1.81
   is 0 for positive t; 0.1 for negative t
SAT = TAT / (1 + 0.2 M²)     – where M is mach number, and SAT and TAT are in kelvins


speed of sound (a) = 38.968 √SAT    where the SAT is in kelvins (t°celsius + 273.15).

True airspeed is equal to mach number (M) multiplied by the speed of sound (a).
