An air data indicating and calibrating arrangement and method for a vertical take-off and landing aircraft, in particular a helicopter, for providing information on an air speed of the vertical take-off and landing aircraft and for providing information on an altitude of the vertical take-off and landing aircraft are described. The vertical take-off and landing aircraft includes a pitot tube device for determining a stagnation air pressure at a position of the pitot tube device and a static port device for determining a static air pressure at a position of the static port device. The air data indicating arrangement includes an air speed and altitude determination module to determine in real-time the air speed and the altitude of the vertical take-off and landing aircraft from flight data by using a regressor obtained by training an artificial neural network with training data.
