I have one more question to ask you. Could you please check to see if I am on the right track?
Given: Track required left 090M, HDG 102M
ADF (destination) 000R DME (destination) 21 NM
According to the "one in sixty rule" the aeroplane is
a. 12 NM right of required track
b. 4 NM right of required track
c. 12 NM left of required track
d. 4 NM left of required track

The difference between heading and track is 12 degree to the right so the drift is 12 degree left which means that the wind is coming from the right so the airplane is on the left of the track. Am I on the right track? According to the one in sixty rule, every mile off track along a sixty miles along track is equal to one degree of track error. Now what is the next step?
Cheers
