Question:

On a recent flight from Phoenix to Kansas City, a distance of 919 nautical miles, the plane arrived 20 minutes early. On leaving the aircraft, I asked the captain, “What was our tail wind?” He replied, “I don’t know, but our ground speed was 550 knots.” Has enough information been provided for you to find the tail wind? If possible, find the tail wind. (1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour)
