Oops. Thanks for the correction. Must've written that while paying closer attention to the Olympics than what I was writing. I'll fix it.
And yes, as far as the AT-SAT is concerned, all head and tailwinds are direct and completely uniform throughout a flight.
EDIT: ...erm, seems that you can't edit a post after a certain period, so I guess it's stuck that way for the time being. I'll drop a line to Doug or a mod to see if they can fix it.
