Crosswind Limits,

A good question, but I doubt a JAR one. Azimuth gyro drift rate will give rise to track error computation (unbounded) and groundspeed computation (dependant upon Schuler loop). If taken at simplistic face value I feel that the answer offered by Scratch One Bandit is incorrect. ).01 deg/hour times 12 hours = 0.12 degrees. The rest of SOB computation is correct, but the answer will be 12nm. I do not know where the question and feedback answer came from, but I do know that much which is purported and reported to be exam feedback is often untrue. I have spent the last ten years sifting fact from rumour.

Aye,
