Creampuff,
Nice try, "educate others", because you're far too clever to be educated.
1. I only entered this discussion to point out a statement made by you was WRONG, it still is WRONG and will always be WRONG, no matter how much you try to deflect. You even admitted you were WRONG after self educating yourself, even though you still haven't recognised the magnitude of your misunderstanding.
2. You said that the accident aircraft subject of this thread would have arrived safely even if it flew at 80 knots plus a few knots even with a hypothetical 25 knot headwind. Guess what you're still WRONG.
I called you on advocating a method of 'range flying' that is incomplete, incorrect, ignorant and WRONG.
Email Deakin yourself and tell him that range is not affected by a headwind component and he will tell you, you're WRONG.
