The most accurate method is to use a conventional or electronic flight computer. Additional Aircraft Speed Categories Ground Speed (GS) Groundspeed is the actual speed of the airplane over the ground. As altitude increases, TAS increases for a given CAS. Similarly, for a given TAS, CAS decreases as you go higher.

A headwind lowers groundspeed , making landing easier. Calculate the crosswind using the wind component table or a flight computer, such as an E6-B. Discover ways to stay proficient with regular practice. Why Crosswind Landings Aren’t Easy Ideally, pilots want the wind to hit the aircraft dead on the nose while landing.
