Macrohard/ Drift for 80 Degree Procedure turn.

Macrohard,

Thanks for that, just one more question. Regarding the 80 degree procedure turn. For instance if the inbound track is 360 and there is an 80 degree procedure turn to the right, wind in 090/15, I am told that there is a rule of thumb where by you hold that heading say 080degrees for so many seconds, on the other hand if the wind was 270/15 you do not turn onto a Hdg080 but some lesser Hdg so that you don’t get blown to far down wind. Can you remember such a rule??
