Same concept kill drift, compute crosswind, time, distance, heading for a
DR
plot.

Then lock up the AP to TRK.

Hey Art, did you guys have a drift meter? Curious.

Les

No, but we had better. The Norden bombsight was the world's best
driftmeter. If
you cranked out the drift by stopping the vertical hair, it would give
you
the
angle needed to correct the drift and track driift free. We call it a
bomb
run. (grin). Can't beat that.
