If a true heading of 135° results in a ground track of 130° and a true airspeed of 135
knots results in a groundspeed of 140 knots, the wind would be from - answer- 246° and
13 knots.
When converting from true course to magnetic heading, a pilot should... - answer- add
westerly variation and subtract left wind correction angle
