IRS or INS indicates : Drift: 6°L (left)
Hello,
If my IRS or INS indicates "Drift: 6°L", what does that mean ?
Option1: That I am drifting 6° to the left of the required track, so I should apply a drift correction angle to the right because the wind is coming from the right.
Option 2: or it means that I have a 6° Drift Correction Angle applied to the left of my required track (in other words, the aircraft nose is positioned to the left of the required track) and that is allright because I have wind coming from the left.
Which of both options is right ? Or maybe both are wrong ?
Thank you very much to whom will help me with that one.
Emmanuel.
