Outbound time corrections, hold and approach.

[squeakyunclean]

Assuming you HAVE to rely on a stopwatch, like say NDB approach at ACE (Lanzarote), how would you adjust the outbound time to account for wind?

I would adjust the outbound time in a standard hold by +/- 1 sec per knot of wind component (w/c). For an approach +/- 1 sec per knot w/c per minute of still air outbound time.

What does everyone else do?

Thanks for sensible replies....
