Kind of strange thing here. I've got TAS set at 105, and the NavLog is performing calculations as if the GS is 85, with calm winds aloft being reported in NavLog.
Now, when I go to the airport and look at winds aloft, they are being given as 8 kts out of the north, which would add a tailwind for a trip to the south, therefore adding to the GS, not subtracting.
What am I missing here? Feel free to call me an idiot if I'm missing something fundamentally important. I'm at work right now and my brain is a bit frazzled.
Note: I also used the ruler tool in the Map screen for the same leg, and it does calculate the leg time correctly (I'm not sure if they incorporate current winds in that though).
