Compass hdg / Deviation question:
Hi folks,
Hope anyone can shed light on this (I'd have thought easy question):
You are flying a constant compass heading of 252°. Variation is 22°E, deviation is 3°W and your INS is showing a drift of 9° right. True track is ?
280° is the correct answer given. I was always taught that Variation West is best (i.e. added) and Variation East is least (substracted)... anyone able to point out my newbie mistake in thinking here? Please?
Thanks i.a.!
