In PPL training we are taught to fly at a particular best glide speed, but in the ATPL notes i'm reading, in order to get the best gliding range you have to add the headwind factor or subtract the tailwind factor to best glide speed. I know it adds to the complexity of the situation but is worth keeping at the back of one's mind when range becomes an issue.
