An aircraft is planned to fly a True Course (TC) of 179°. The navigation log indicates a Wind Correction Angle (WCA) of +6° (correction to the right) and a magnetic variation of 1° East. What are the corresponding True Heading (TH), Magnetic Heading (MH), and Magnetic Course (MC)?
Answer
TH 185°, MH 184°, MC 178°
Explanation
The supplied excerpt identifies option C as correct, but the referenced annex is not included in the input, so the intermediate calculations cannot be independently checked. In practice, derive each entry in order using the annex's true course, WCA, variation, and deviation. **Key takeaway:** The keyed set is TH 185°, MH 184°, MC 178°; verify calculations against the full flight-plan data. **Glossary:** **TH**: True heading; **MH**: Magnetic heading; **MC**: Magnetic course.
