There are quite a few on this thread who obviously think that flying in moving or stationary air is irrelevant to the flight of the aircraft. This is a reflection of what they have been taught and their opinion that very experienced low level pilots are idiots.
I was interested to read a reference to wind shear (highly relevant) and Regulated Ground Speed, a concept selected by significant airlines, mainly prior to glass cockpits. Certainly used by Ansett, TAA & Qantas.
