I want to fly from New York, 40°38′23″N 73°46′44″W to
Vienna. 48°06’39” N, 16°34’15” E. My autopilot is linked to a
magnetic compass. Immediately after takeoff, I want to set the
autopilot to the appropriate magnetic course and then not touch it
again until I arrive. What is that course? (There be no wind through
the entire flight.)
