Also, RADAR doesn't give a lick about IAS/TAS, it only works in GS.

which is sorta interesting,
figure you are doing 150kts ICAS, but your GS is 200kts. ATC sees 200kts and will make all assignments based on that, so you have a 50 kt tailwind, everyone does, that is headed your way. Many times I have heard. N1234 what kind of airplane are you? we are a baron sir, ATC.. huh, N1234, yeah winds. ( Assuming this guy is getting plowed with a headwind. the converse is also true I have heard Skyhawks begging ATC for a GS because they are in a 30-50kt tailwind. I don't know but can find out if anyone is really interested, if ACT keeps the head/tail winds in mind when you are given course changes.
