If the predicted wind is "calm" then why would you use anything other than "calm" in your trip calculation?

As for how to calculate that on the whizz wheel - well if there is no wind then there's no need for a wind compensation calculation. GS is TAS and TH is TT. So you don't use the wheel for that part. You just need to take into account variation and deviation.
