The plane will end up flying 5.02°.
The plan's speed relative to the ground will be 645.91 km/hr.
Solution:
Use the cosine formula,
Substitute the given values in the formula,
Taking square root on both sides, we get
R = 645.91 km/hr
This is the grouped speed of the aircraft.
To find θ use sine rule.
Do cross multiplication, we get
sin θ = 0.0875
θ = 5.02°
This is known as the drift angle and is the correction the pilot should apply to remain on course.
The heading is the direction the aircraft's nose is pointing which is
The track is the actual direction over the ground which is θ = 5.02°
An alternative method to this would be to separate each vector into vertical and horizontal components and add.
The resultant can be found using Pythagoras.
