Shawn,

Marty is not asking because he doesn't know the answer - he's a
Designated Pilot Examiner. I think he's just trying to stimulate some
discussion here and to get pilots to think about their airmanship.

Talk to your instructor more about this subject. Its important to your
safety that you have a good understanding. Usenet is not the best place
to learn about wind speed, relative wind, shear etc. "Stick and
Rudder" by Lanngewieche would be a good resource, as would Tom Knauff's
books. (Unless Tom wants to reply directly but that doesn't sell books ;-)
