The law of sines comes up with the same answer as does the MB-2A. Either of these other methods are less complicatd. As a suggestion, you should call the desired way to go as "course" not "heading." You sail (or fly) a heading which incorporates a correction angle (wind correction angle) so that you maintain the desired "course." "Heading is the direction in which the nose is pointing at the moment. "Course" is the direction of the line on the chart. gl --- On Fri, 11/11/11, Apache Runner <apacherunner@gmail.com> wrote:
