I disagree that the offset should be integrated, that's going to lead to all kinds of confusion surely (when would the aircraft return to the AWY centre-line? This would be uncommanded presumably - most disconcerting!)

I presume this discussion came about after the article in Flight a month or so ago. It's been published in the track message for ages, and most seem to ignore it. Personally, I see no reason to offset unless there's other traffic around flying at a different speed, and in any case, try to return to the C/L by the exit point.

Curious.... do any of you consider this when it comes to your preference turning off track for an engine failure/drift down? Look out!!

Should there be a standard procedure according to the crosswind component as to which a/c offsets??
