No I don't think so. 3:48 The main thing that matters is how it is calculated, which he initially stated as 10 degrees. How did you calculate the wind correction? To multiply by 3. Everyone knows that, the important thing is to calculate how many degrees of wind correction to give at the beginning.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my account password. I would love any tips you can offer me.
@Tanner Finley I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
When you enter direct, you don’t always first fly the inbound leg first which aalmoes you to find out the inbound leg WC angle. How do you figure this out correct correction angle when the outbound leg is the first leg? Just do the calculations with the known winds to find the WC angle for the inbound leg?

It's simple. Its the difference between your heading and the aircrafts course Here is a lengthy explaination: If your inbound course is 350, then, in a no wind scenario, your heading would also be 360. But with wind, your nose will be into the wind. To maintain the 360 course (path along the ground) your heading will not match and be into the wind (course is different than heading! course is the path we want to fly over the ground, but the heading to fly that course can and often is different!). Lets say it is a 010 heading to keep yourself on that 360 inbound course. Now we compare that. The difference between the aircrafts current heading and the course is 10 degrees, so its a 10 degree wind correction angle. some other numbers for example course 090, heading 075 =15 degree eind correction angle this is something you will only be able to do while flying, and there is no math involved. Its relatively easy to see this difference with soemthing like a g1000 that has a ground track pointer (magenta diamond on the HSI) that is showing where the plane is going, and wont match the heading if there is any wind. hope this helps
This is great! Just question I had was how do you know which way to turn without messing up? Just in your head naturally like the hold entry? This makes sense but calculating neither adding or subtracting in the turn messed me up.
I recommend learning to visualize the wind direction on your DG/HSI and then always turn into the wind. Using a rote add/subtract method will eventually result in doing it wrong.
How did you calculate the wind correction? You don't mention the most important thing? For example, how is it calculated that it will return to 010, 150, 345 and 225 degrees? What is the formula?
I have a question. When I'm timing the standard rate turn, I can never roll out to the WCA heading on time (3x correction on outbound). Am I supposed to adjust the rate of turn to roll out on the wind-corrected heading after 1 minute? What am I missing here...
No, don't change the rate of turn. Standard rate turns are always 3 degrees per second. There is no requirement to make turns in a certain amount of time. The only leg that really matters for time is the inbound leg. Hope that helps :-)
FlywithJim.com I cleared that up with my instructor and your comment helped as well, thanks! I don't know where I picked up the habit of timing the turn.
we triple correction because you need "always" only 1x correction but 2x on turns you don't use corrections so that's a reason why 3x on outbound track. (just sum correction for turns and outbound at once).
Best explanation on the internet, better than all the others with advanced graphics and milions of subs
Thanks for the positive feedback!

Preparing for my cfii checkride. Definitely helped with my lesson plan! Thank you
This was awesome. Thank you. Checkride in 3 weeks.
Thanks for the positive feedback. Sometimes low-tech works best :-) Good luck on your checkride!
As I am trying to get mentally back on track for IFR instruction, it is great to go over some of your videos again. Thanks again.

@Tanner Finley it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
@Kace Kristian No problem =)

How do you figure this out correct correction angle when the outbound leg is the first leg? Just do the calculations with the known winds to find the WC angle for the inbound leg?
An educated guess/estimate is usually sufficient. Some call it the TLAR technique (That Looks About Right) 🙂
This answered questions that I didn't know I had. Thank you
Thanks! Very helpful and well presented!
You're welcome. Thanks for the positive feedback!

As CFII this a great explanation.

So helpful!! Thank you!

Jim needs to improve his handwriting skills - maybe he's not a leftie after all. Suggest he give his right hand a try.
Haha! 🤣
