Hi Bob,

I'm just going through your Instrument Rating Study Guide (July 2011) and found myself a little confused when it comes to Drift, in particular Exercise 7 on page 1.43. In the first example The DG and FCADF are both reading 0. I have an NDB tuned and I am tracking to the station. The needle is pointing out to the right, which would indicate to me that in the last 30 mins of my flight, I have drifted left of my FPT. Help?

Disregard my last, it's been a while. Problem sorted.
