What is the track error angle? Given:
Planned track: 252°(T)
Actual heading: 252°(T)
Actual in-flight drift: 3° right
When we plan for a 252º(T) track and same heading, the track will only be achieved in zero wind conditions.
Since we are drifting 3º right, we will track 255º(T) which makes our track angle error equal to 3ºR.
To track the planned track of 252º(T), we would have to apply a wind correction angle (WCA) of 3ºL, our heading would have to be 249º (T).
