How much fuel will be used to fly for 43 minutes if burning 5.6 GPH? To account for the movement of airmasses, you need to calculate a correction to your course that will eliminate wind drift. Take out a sectional, plot an imaginary flight, get the winds or make up your own, and from beginning to end figure out all the calculations for the flight.
