@CJModiano Remember that mathematically ground speed is a vector quantity, in other words: ground speed = airspeed + wind speed notice that air density is not found anywhere in this equation.
This is an honest question since I haven't been lucky enough to start my training yet, but doesnt this not take into account the fact that, given equal winds, the higher altitude would have a faster ground speed due to the lower air pressure? Or is that negligible?
Broh, you helped me out way A LOT !!! thanks!
Very nice and clear!!

You rock! Great explanation!

Is 330° your true heading or your true course???
Thank You! That, wasn't in the book.
