Atpl General Nav head scratcher
Hi there. this one has me scratching my head, anyone care to try it?
it shouldnt be hard but i think im seeing double after a day of study.
aircraft is trying to maintain a track of 153 (T)
wind is 280/50
so heading 158 (T)
Variation 11W so heading (M) is 169
at such and such a time drift is found to be 8 degrees port
what heading (M) is required to parallel track of 153?
A 161
B 163
C 153
D 172
my thinking being that if you are heading 158, then surely alter heading to starboard by 8 degrees gets you to 166 plus var is 177!!!!! aaaargh.
