@ aroumika

What logic are you applying girl......
(i presume) you must have noticed that During climb or descend the ROC remains constant no matter its head wind or tail wind ..
still not understood i'll explain you with the help of formulae

ROC(ft/min)= TAS(kts) x Gradian%

i.e for if you remember 5 times the ground speed gives ROD in ILS approach
that 5 is 5.2% gradient...we use ground speed in because we have to descend to a point on earth which is fixed
so
ROC(fpm)= GS([[fixed]] for each type of aircraft) x Gradient%(which is for obvious 5.2% 3 degrees of G/Slp

now you are climbing 3000ft to 10000ft "IN AIR" which is not a fixed point on the earth as i mentioned it earlier for ILS.

So it's again
ROC(fpm)=TAS X Gamma(%)

now lets clear your doubt regarding Hdwind and tailwind
in headwind
ROC = TAS (decreases) x gamma (increases)

in tailwind
ROC = TAS (increases) x gamma (decreases)

so ROC is already compensated for winds except for ILS approaches and calculating Glide speed

if you have any then please try to fill these concepts in your brains

Better for you
Better for us.
