Co sine /Sine
Thank you all very much for your help.
Can anyone give me an example of how I would use the elec calculator for a naviagation calculation- I guess headwind/groundspeed would be Cos and Drift would be Sine.
If track was 360 deg and wind was 030/30 & TAS = 100 kts
Sine 30 = .5 Co sine = .86
Is that ground speed 86 knots?
but how do I calculate drift with the calculator, I am thinking that using a T of V's, the drift would be the equivalent of flying to a point into wind 15 miles at a radius of 100 nautical miles-is that correct? No do not think that is correct-I have confused myself!-Help!
