Unreferenced date January 2009 Groundspeed is the speed of an aircraft relative to the ground. Information displayed to passengers through the entertainment system often gives the aircraft groundspeed rather than airspeed. Groundspeed can be determined by the vector sum of the aircraft s true airspeed and the current wind speed and direction a headwind subtracts from the groundspeed, while a tailwind adds to it. Winds at other angles to the heading will have components of either headwind or tailwind as well as a crosswind component. An airspeed indicator can only indicate the aircraft s speed relative to the air mass. The air mass as a whole may be moving over the ground due to wind, and therefore some additional means to provide position over the ground is required. This might be through navigation using landmarks, radio aided position location, inertial navigation system , or GPS . When more advanced technology is unavailable, an E6B flight computer is often used to calculate groundspeed. Groundspeed is quite different from airspeed . When an aircraft is airborne the groundspeed does not determine when the aircraft will stall, and it doesn t influence the actual aircraft performance such as rate of climb.
