I don't get it. If you want to extend your auto rotation range in a parcel of air, what difference does the wind direction make? If you have a head wind you won't go so far over the ground as if you have a tail wind.
So if you want to extend your range in a head wind, fly at max auto airspeed and min rrpm.
If you want to extend your range in a tail wind, do exactly the same. right?
