For AIPS users who are learning CASA, it is intuitive to think about equivalent tasks between the two software packages. Below are some AIPS-to-CASA equivalent tasks; note that there is not always a one-to-one transformation between the two packages.

| CALIB | gaincal | Calibrate gains (amplitudes and phases) |
| CLCAL | applycal | Apply calibration to data |
| COMB | immath | Combine images |
| CPASS | cpass | Calibrate bandpasses by polynomial fitting |

| LISTR | listobs | Print basic data |
| MCAT | ls | List image data files |
| MOMNT | immoments | Compute moments from an image |
| OHGEO | imregrid | Regrids an image onto another image's geometry |
| PBCOR | immath | Correct an image for the primary beam |
| PCAL | polcal | Calibrate polarization |
