Therefore if Nigel on a Horse were,oops Nigel on Draft were correct that would mean that IF say i were taking off into a 100kt HWC and were static on the runway,i should get the full wind velocity.Cause obviously,being factored ONLY against the IAS,which is reading 100kias,it would give me the correct component.Now say this wind were say coming from a "one thirty" position,ie 45 degrees right cross,would i still get a correct HW component....say cos 45 x 100 (whatever the HWC would be.....i forget the calculations),since i still have a reasonably legit IAS on the tape.Thx...
P.S.....Thx Miserlou for your input.
