Yes, I don't think Cosmos is misunderstanding the question at all. Of course you fly the required heading to maintain the outbound (published) track. Having arrived at the end of the o/b leg, and turning at Rate 1, it is not possible to compensate in the turn for a wind that will take you through the Inbound (Final Approach) Track. So when you go through you just have to re-establish from the other side.

I speak from a helicopter perspective where, as someone has said, the drift problem can be quite large. And that's what we do.
