IMC Question
I have started an IMC course and apart from hating foggles I am finding it very interesting and incredibly baffling.
I have started doing NDB holds and the principle seems straight forward, but I cannot get my head around crosswind calculations. The Thom book 5 says to use 3x allowance and my instructor suggests 2x allowance and has a way of referring to the face of his watch to calculate this. I am completely confused and am a little embarrassed to ask him if he can make it any simpler.
I am begging to the collective wisdom of PPRuNe for assistance. Can anyone give me some easier ways of calculating crooswind values. I do not have a mathematical brain and am getting myself into a state over this.
Help
