Answer
- B About 9° to the left
Explanation
The track error is 2 × 60 / 20 = 6°; correcting by this makes you fly parallel to the planned track. To reach the destination, the closing angle is added: 2 × 60 / 40 = 3°. Together this is 9° to the left. The new arrival time is calculated with the groundspeed determined.
