What is true airspeed corrected for wind?

True airspeed corrected for wind refers to the speed of an aircraft relative to the ground, which is known as groundspeed. When considering wind effects, true airspeed (the speed of the aircraft through the air) can be adjusted by the headwind or tailwind to determine how fast the aircraft is moving over the ground. This adjustment is crucial for navigation and flight planning, as it accounts for how wind can affect an aircraft's actual trajectory and speed.

Groundspeed directly reflects the actual distance an aircraft travels over the earth's surface, making it an essential metric for pilots during flight operations. Understanding the relationship between true airspeed, groundspeed, and wind is vital for pilots to accurately determine their flight path and fuel consumption, among other operational variables.

The other options do not represent true airspeed adjusted for wind. While true airspeed indicates how fast the aircraft is moving through the air regardless of wind influence, calibrated airspeed corrects for instruments and position errors but not wind. Angle of attack is related to the aircraft's lift characteristics and stall behavior, not a measure of speed in relation to wind.
