As I recall, the first integral of velocity is acceleration.

Nope.

I hate to say it Ed but for once Tarver is right. The first
*differential*
of velocity is acceleration. The first integral would be distance
covered. I
understood perfectly what you meant though and envy you that experience.

Well, the disclaimer at the beginning of my post should cover me. I
knew that the relationship between velocity, acceleration and rate of
change of acceleration went one way or the other.

It goes both ways:

Integral a dt = V + V0
dV/dt = a

But of course, Ed knows his airplane operating.
