flight computer calculation
Hi,
I noted something very strange while I was "playing" with my flight
computer.
e.g. W/V: 340/60
TAS: 330 kts
True Course: 088°
I found a GS of 344 kts (so the TW-component is 14 kts (makes sense up
to now right?)
On the way back (the True course becomes 268° (088° + 180°)
I found a GS of 306 kts (so the HW-component is 24kts)
To be honest, I expected the HW-component to be 14kts...
What is happening here? Why is there a difference of 10 kts between
the 2 wind components?
Thanks,
Tim
