TOD and wind
Say normal descent distance 100 nm, tailwind component is 50 kts (assuming at all flight levels while descending). Would this require to start descent 50 nm before normal TOD, or start descent from normal TOD, but with increased V/S & speed adjustment?
In other words: offset TOD or adjust speed?
