IFR- working out the drift in flight, how?
Ok, I have been told to halve the wind speed to get max drift then work out where the wind is coming from and apply the factor to give actual drift i.e 30 degs =0.5
Is there an easier way that does not involve number crunching? my brain is overloaded enough with flying the twin and making radio calls and intercepting tracks etc. I think I need and additional 6 meg computer chip to be installed to handle this all at once, especially on short trips.
Any tips for doing the above and getting the grey matter to absorb all the inputs from external sources?
I have the typical "brain goes to mush mode" when too much info is trying to be processed at the same time.
Any comments or easy tricks regarding I/R would be sooooo appreciated.
