By the way:

Your TAS is effectively reduced whenever there is any significant drift!

Effective TAS = TAS muliplied by cos(drift angle).

In the case above, it reduces your effective TAS by less than a knot. But you should consider it when you have a significant drift angle over long leg distances!
