Are you sure that your memory is not deceiving you? I'm no systems expert but as far as I can remember from my flights, that's exactly how it should be.Karsten

Hi Alan The wind data on the Navigation Display (ND) will not be showing until the True Airspeed (TAS) is more than 100 Knots, so this is normal that you don't Wind direction and speed on the ND during ground operations when the TAS is less than 100 Knots. You can't change either. Greetings Mark.
