Hi,
the speed wich is indicated isn't the real speed. You must differentiate between indicated airspeed and true airspeed. Flying in 5000m, indicating a speed of 200km/h means: you are flying with 350km/h (true airspeed). Search for True and Indicated Airspeed (TAS/IAS) Google or Wikipedia. The higher you fly, the more differentiate the IAS from TAS. On sealevel IAS and TAS are the same.
