68. TC 255°, TAS 100 kt, wind 200°/10 kt. What is TH?
Answer
250°
Explanation
The wind has a crosswind component that requires a left correction of about 5°. Therefore, TH is approximately **250°** to maintain a 255° track. **Key takeaway:** Steer into the crosswind. **Glossary:** TH: true heading; TAS: true airspeed.
