Hi,

I've got a question :
How is the wind vector computed ?
I've thought the computer needs the True Air Speed to do that (ie G1000).

Is this indication reliable ?

Thanks a lot.

Regards

As far as I know, in flight it is taken from the latest forcast winds available either 'live' or when uploaded on the ground before flight, it isn't calculated from airspeeds. It's more of an indication that a true reading, but I could be wrong!
