Naviagation Question
Due to a stiff x-wind you are drifting 10 degrees off track. Your ground speed is 120Knts. How long will it take you to drift 1NM off track?

Answer with the explanation please .

Thanks

1 in 60 rule: 1nm = 10deg * x/60nm

Transpose to: x = 1/10deg * 60nm = 6nm

6nm/120kts * 60nm = 3mins
