Amazing that so many people STILL get confused by airspeed and groundspeed...read the article and stop spouting rubbish that others believe and repeat.

The bottom line is FORGET about groundspeed, the wing does not care about it.

However pilot perception CAN be influenced by changing groundspeed leading to PILOT INDUCED issues.

An article for you to read:
