I think one of us has missed the point.

If the pilot plans to use 3 times the WCA as mentioned above, then the aircraft will not TRACK PARALLEL to the inbound leg. Which is my point. I am very comfortable with the difference between track & heading. However some of the pilots that I flight test seem to have a problem with it.

Agreed that the turn will not always be 180 degrees. It will vary by the amount of drift correction + or -. That was not disputed.
