Walt...
you are making the same mistake that Mitchell makes in the Boeing report.....
...from V813 to the Real lighthouse is a bearing of 19.78 degrees true , plus the variation for your sums..
..they were never at V813 ......that was a default option built into the Tans because it assumes the crew will load a new route every time they fly ....and so starts with the first waypoint..but this unit had a database already loaded of other locations.....
...and they were way way East of the real lighthouse at impact.......these differences negate most of your 'turn'.....sorry..
rgds..
