There seems to be some confusion (at least in my mind) over whether the ASI in a 1966 C150F reads in CAS or IAS. There is a chart for converting IAS to CAS in the POH and no mention that the ASI reads in CAS in the POH. But many people keep saying that the older ASI read in CAS so no conversion is needed.
This is in regards to a close call I recently had where I desperately needed to hit the correct Vx speed and in my plane POH that is listed at 52 MPH CAS.
Please chime in if you have actually owned and flown a 1964-1967 C150. The Vx speeds changed in 1968 to 57 MPH and then again in 1969 to 64 MPH for no apparent reason.
