Help calculating Speed To Fly for headwind and tailwind
On May 27, 10:49*pm, Tim Taylor wrote:
Anyone have a good set of equations or example of how to do this simply? The fastest speed through the air mass will give the fastest speed over the ground. The wind does not change the speed to fly. It only impacts best glide speed to a landing. So add 0xW for a headwind and subtract 0xW for a tailwind. Andy
