Hello!

If you look closely at your airspeed indicator you will see that the scale does not start with "0" but, depending on the aeroplane, with a value more like "40". So your headwind will show on the ASI when the combined speed of the wind and your moving aeroplane exceeds the minimum value that can be displayed.
