Wind Correction? Yes, Please!

0 Shares

In this photo you’ll see a very exaggerated example of a wind correction heading used to maintain our desired track. The course flown was 323 degrees with a wind correction heading of 303 degrees, a 20 degree difference. You’ll also notice we had a left quartering headwind at 144 knots in speed. That explains our large wind correction angle.
