Best answer I've heard yet  Isn't the difference between your compass heading and the radial you are flying the drift? Knowing drift is pretty useful... The correction angle maybe. You aren't drifting at all if you are on the radial. Yes, that's what I mean, you are holding off "x" degrees of drift. That fact is very useful and given the choice between a true and magnetic VOR I think I would prefer magnetic for just that reason. You? Cheers MC
