Groundspeed and distance (course) are all you need to calculate flight time, but fuel consumption is a function of the course, pressure altitude, TAS, and winds (that determine heading). Indicated airpseed (IAS) is usually chosen to be the airspeed at which the airplane has the most ...
pitch speed calculation for years-and they say it's pretty close. They also have a very accurate method of calculating airspeed- put the handle in a tower- fly the airplane at a set height- and you know the distance its traveling if the lines don't go slack (and they tend not to)....
