1. Draw a vertical line on a sheet of paper to represent a meridian line.
2. Draw the wind vector, faithfully reproducing its velocity and wind direction. Remember that winds are reported "from" a compass heading and 180°
245° mag. Course must be added to that when drawing the vector.
Vector 3. Draw the Mag-Course vector from the point of origin between the meridian line and wind vector.
Wind Vector i.e. 315° @ 40 knots
4. Draw the TAS vector with its origin at the end of the Wind vector. The ruler should be rotated about that point until the no of units of TAS intersects
the Mag-Course Vector.
5. Measure the distance along the Mag-Course vector between the two points of intersection. That will be the Ground Speed.
B A 6. Measure the angle inside the point where the TAS vector intersects with the Mag-Course vector.
110 knot
