Determine the wind direction and speed given a true course of 350° and true heading of 358°.

To determine the wind direction and speed based on the provided true course and true heading, you'll need to analyze the difference between the two. The true course is the intended path over the ground, while the true heading accounts for the wind's effect on the airplane.

In this case, the true course is 350°, and the true heading is 358°. The difference between the two is 8° (358° - 350°). This indicates that the wind is coming from the right of the airplane's trajectory, suggesting that a right crosswind is present.

To find the wind direction, we add 90° to the angle of drift (the difference calculated). Since a right crosswind is affecting the airplane, we add 90° to the heading, yielding 358° + 90° = 028° for the wind direction.

Since the available options require a wind direction that indicates where the wind is coming from, you would need to adjust this by 180°, as wind direction is typically stated from where it originates. This means 028° + 180° equals 208°, but since we're considering angles in a complementary manner (where the direction of the wind would be relevant across all choices provided), moving towards a more eas
