By draw the wind vector down to the ctr both Hdg and G/S and w/v problems can be solved. The other problem that sometimes crops up has to be solved by drawing wind vector down from centre. (Possibly one question on ATPL exam ).


At least wind vector down to centre can be explained easily from first principles and when computer is placed on map wind, track etc. appears in its logical relative positions.

All this jiggling around is nonsense.
