|
Formula to calculate magnetic heading from true course |
True course (TC) = CH +/- Variation (V) +/- Deviation (D) +/- Wind correction angle (WCA) |
|
|
Nautical mile to statute mile conversion |
1NM = 1.15SM MPH = 115% kts |

|
Wind correction angle formula and estimate |
WCA = asin(WS/TAS * sin(AWA))
Estimate WCA = asin(WS/TAS) |
