On a windless day, a stunt pilot is flying his vintage

Chapter , Problem 121

(choose chapter or problem)

On a windless day, a stunt pilot is flying his vintage World War I Sopwith Camel from Dubuque, Iowa, to Chicago, Illinois, for an air show. Unfortunately, he is unaware that his planes ancient magnetic compass has a serious problem in that what it records as north is in fact 16.5 east of true north. At one moment during his flight, the airport in Chicago notifies him that he is, in reality, 150 km due west of the airport. He then turns due east, according to his planes compass, and flies for 45 minutes at 150 km/h. At that point, he expects to see the airport and begin final descent. What is the planes actual distance from Chicago and what should be the pilots heading if he is to fly directly toward Chicago?
