Ever heard of 'OFF-COURSE NAVIGATION'????
It was used by helicopter pilots in the jungles of Vietnam - they had to find very precise LZs, but often when they arrived at their Ded Reckoning position, the LZ was nowhere in sight......... so which way to turn??????
What they started doing was flying their computed track @ the appropriate speed and ignore the WCA. Then when Ded Reckoning said they should be over the LZ, they only had to turn and head INTO the wind to find the LZ.
I didn't believe it either, so tried it and it WORKS!!!!
Not sure I would recommend it to students though..........
