From: how does it matter
met doubt : explanation for question

hi, i have a question from met, I want to know if the explanation is correct.
if an aircraft in northern hemisphere flies from high to low, it will experience _________ drift
ans. starboard

explanation: if winds are from left, then it will experience right drift, it is because aircraft is flying towards ( or in the) low pressure, so the winds will be from left. hence starboard drift.
rule applied is coriolis force.
