Folks,

You're missing the philosophical point.

It's not a matter of surgical precision and if you're half a knot off the sky is going to fall down and Chicken Little goes around the twist.

Doesn't matter which colour aeroplane you are flying -

(a) steady wind correction addresses the known and expected near surface wind gradient which, in general, is approximated by a fairly standard formula

(b) gust corrections address a random event in respect of which the pilot has little influence.

There are several threads on the subject which are worth revisiting. This thread is useful as it has additional links to others.
