When you are flying the heading of 223°, what direction (heading) is the NDB? We need to look at the ADF. NDBs don’t have radials like VORs. When flying to an NDB the nose of the aircraft should be pointed at the NDB with no wind. When flying the heading of 223° the bearing to the NDB is changing. We continue to fly 223° until the ADF bearing to the NDB is at 45° (223 -178 =45). Then turn to a heading of 178°. The bearing to the NDB will be 000° because we are flying directly towards if there is no wind. If there is a wind, a Wind Correction Angle has to be added to or subtracted from the 178° heading to keep the bearing to the NBD at 000°.
