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
