Why don't flight computers adjust STF for wind?

4) If in doubt, I use a MacCready setting of 3 - I have never found zero or 1 to be useful as it has no margin for safety. (I don't think I could live anywhere where a MacCready setting of 1 is the norm!) Many of us use two MC settings: for me, the STF vario is set to 1 or 2 (3 on amazing days); the flight computer MC setting is usually set to 4 (5 or 6 as the area between airports gets scarier). -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me)
