Hi Bob
I'm having a bit trouble working out the intercept of 45deg in this question. For some reason I get a HDG of 55 which isn't even an option so I must be way off?

UPDATE: Ive just had the aha moment and sorted it out. It depends on whether you turn left or right as to whether you add or subtract from the FPT.!

Yes, firstly you must establish which side of flight planned track you are on - left or right. If you are left of track, you must turn onto a heading which is further right than the required flight planned track. In this case, you are left of the 060°M track, so you must turn onto a heading that is 45° further right than 060. 60 + 45 = 105°M.

Keep having fun!!

Bob
