An airlift plane can fly at airspeed of 300 mph If there is a wind blowing towards the east at 50 mph what should be the planes compass heading in order for its course to be 30 degrees?

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)

When the wind direction is 315 from what compass direction is it blowing?
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.
