Can someone explain the 116 kt difference? Altitudes were 380 down and 350 back.
Or do I just need to go back and read up on TAS?
ps Chuck Norris just ordered a Jadaveon Clowney jersey.
Definitely an error. Perhaps they mistakenly published an average groundspeed? At FL380 TAS would be around 455-465 knots regardless of direction.
