An aircraft is flying along a planned track of 090°. After flying 40 NM, the pilot determines that the aircraft is 4 NM north of track. The distance remaining to the destination is 60 NM. Using the 1-in-60 rule, what heading correction is required to fly directly to the destination?

The aircraft is north of its eastbound track and must turn right (southward) to regain the destination line. The required direct-to correction combines the track error already accumulated with the remaining distance, giving approximately **12° right**. **Key takeaway:** Direction of correction must move toward the destination, not merely parallel to the original track. **Glossary:** Direct-to correction: heading change aimed at the destination from the current position.
