Chris & Hamid,

Using similar ideas to take wind out of the picture, Ed Williams
(references below) derived the equations for an easy to fly method.  Hold
3 headings separated by 120-deg, measure GPS ground-speed -> true
airspeed:

He also converts IAS to TAS even when Mach is not negligible (good for
finding calibration issues with OAT & airspeed):

I put both into a spreadsheet that works on computers and iPads:
