Hello,

some short questiones:

If I connect a bluetooth Aisspeedsensor to LK8000 will headwind be calculated like:
a) TAS minus Groundspeed or
b) Headwind is Headwindcomponent of latest Wind calculation

If a) is correct, what will be used for final glide calculation?

-) Headwind (always actual if Airspeed is available)
-) Wind coming from latest windcalculation

Thank you and best regards,
Martin

b!
Having the GPS + airspeed the wind is calculated by a quite accurate modified Kalman Filter. (Wind setting "Both")

I believe Head Wind is actually IAS-ground speed. I use this for landing as it is easier to read the wind direction in real time.

@AlphaLima maybe you made some confusion with wind calculation alone?

Ups Sorry,
you're right (we are not in the else condition):

cool

and is "headwind" used for final glide calculation, or is final glide calculation based on "wind"?
(headwind is currently updated - wind is more difficult to update, because winddirection is more difficult to get)

On the other hand: If I put the Wind manually (because I know, that it will change during gliding) it is better to have it based on wind..
