I was always under the assumption from several text books/manuals that best glide speed (indicated) should change with wind factors. This does not seem to be the popular view of many, if not all, flight instructors/pilots around my parts. I was wondering what the general take is on this, or if this is alien to most:

- Maximum glide range in a no-wind condition will be done at (L/D)max - or the POH value for best glide speed.

- In a headwind, glide speed needs to be increased for best range.

- In a tailwind, glide speed needs to be decreased for best range.
