Forget the 45-180 and do a 270-90 into the wind.
Bob Gardner "smackey" wrote in message m... OK, I'm flying my local VOR-A which calls for an outbound heading of 252, then I'm suppoosed to turn 45 deg to 207 to begin the PT. But there is a STRONG x-wind and I am already crabbed to about 215 to hold the 252 outbound course. I assume I turn to something not quite approaching 170 (45 deg from 215), just something inbetween in order to sort of track 45 deg off the outbound course and fly a bit longer than 1 min so I don't get blown back through the inbound course when I do the turn back toward the inbound course. It just seems weird to be flying at almost 90 deg from the outbound course. Any opinions on this?
