Whopity - I haven't tried it (yet - I do plan to) but, on the face of it, it seems straightforward. Approaching a new leg, you initially turn onto track (not wind corrected heading), pick a point in the distance that is on your projected track and fly whatever heading is needed to maintain it, ie finding out what you wind corrected heading is based on actual wind, not forecast. It does strike me as close to 'track crawling' though and I note your point about what happens if you find yourself off track. Interesting that what RIN is promoting is not consistent with PPL training. I was just wondering if anywhere teaches this method.
