Probably not the case as the ASI doesn't have any way of knowing what the groundspeed and wind is doing ...

True. I was just exploring the idea of whether or not there was a known ASI/compresssion error that was being taken into account when backs were up against the wall!

If we are only talking a knot or two, that's fine and came out of the flight test confirmation of the aerodynamic model .. but a significant playing about with the Vr V2 split would raise the eyebrows ..

Most times it is just a knot or two, but occasionally (only because I looked for it) it could be 5 or 6 kts. Eyebrows raised. Hence my brainache.
