An aircraft flies TC 040° at TAS 180 kt with wind 350°/30 kt. What is the WCA?

Explanation
The crosswind component requires a left correction to hold the 040° track; the material gives **7° left**. **Key takeaway:** The WCA is the difference between desired course and required heading. **Glossary:** WCA: wind correction angle.
