Hello!

But in real life, I do MaxDrift times the clocked angle rounded to the nearest 5 degrees because the wind forecast is never right anyway.

PS just a PPL, not an FI, sorry.
But in real life, I steer so that the "track" figure euqals the "desired track" figure on my GPS readout. And if ever one of my students pulls out an E6B (or whatever) flight computer and starts fiddling with this thing in flight instead of looking outside, I will take it away from him and throw it out of the window. Promised!

Greetings, Max
