To determine the wind correction angle using an HSI on final approach, what should you do?

To determine the wind correction angle using a Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) on final approach, the appropriate action is to turn to a heading that aligns the track vector with the desired course line. This approach effectively compensates for the crosswind by adjusting the aircraft's heading, which ensures that the aircraft remains aligned with the intended flight path.

By positioning the track vector directly on the course line, you account for the drift caused by wind. This adjustment allows you to maintain a stable and accurate approach to the runway. Using the HSI, you can visually confirm that your heading is providing the necessary correction to counteract any lateral wind displacement, resulting in a more precise final approach.

While consistently flying a heading regardless of wind may seem straightforward, it would not consider the wind's effect on the flight path. Simply following the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) does not factor in heading adjustments needed for wind correction. Maintaining a heading above the recommended track could lead to misalignment and potential issues during landing. Thus, the method that involves adjusting the heading such that the track vector aligns with the course line is essential for effective wind correction during final approach.
