Ok. I see what you're at now. Indeed the wind at 2000 is forecast to be calm. In that case you make no correction for wind because there s no wind to blow you off course!

The surface wind is irrelevant to your flight at 2000ft so don't worry about it.

So as bp say..groundspeed is same as true airspeed and magnetic heading is the same as magnetic track.

Having said that I don't think you'll be going too far today unless the weather clears up!
