The wind correction angle for a true course of 30 degrees, with an airspeed of 300, with a wind direction of 90, and with a wind speed of 50, is -8.3 degrees. The indicated course must then be 21.7 degrees.
CCORRECTION = sin-1 (VWIND sin (CWIND - CACTUAL) / VINDICATED)

A compass is used to construct a perfect circle of 360 degrees.

The wind would be blowing from the northwest.
When we measure wind direction, we go by the direction it is blowing out of. If we have 315. 360-45 = 315 which on a compass is NW. This wind we are talking about here is out of the NW. It would then be blowing SE.
A compass has 360 degrees.
Wind direction is usually identified by the heading from which it is blowing, in degrees (like the 360 degrees of the compass). More commonly, it is referred to in
Scientists would describe a westerly wind as blowing from the west, typically between 270 to 360 degrees on a compass.
there are 360 degrees in a compass
The least count of a prismatic compass is typically 0.5 degrees. This means that the compass can measure angles accurately to within 0.5 degrees.
112.5 degrees on a compass falls between East Southeast (ESE) and East (E).

Compass bearings.
A bearing of 450 degrees on a compass corresponds to due east. In compass bearings, 0 degrees represents north, 90 degrees represents east, 180 degrees represents south, and 270 degrees represents west. Therefore, a bearing of 450 degrees would be 90 degrees past due east.
