Final answer:
To calculate the new heading of the A380 after a +63° turn starting from 338°, you add the turn angle to the initial course and adjust for the 360° system. The new heading is 41°.
Step-by-step explanation:
The current course of an Airbus A380 is 338°. If the airplane initiates a turn of +63°, the new heading can be calculated by adding the turn angle to the initial course. To find the new heading:
- Start with the initial course of 338°.
- Add the turn angle of 63° to the initial course.
So, 338° + 63° = 401°. However, headings are typically given within a 360° system. Since 401° is greater than 360°, we must subtract 360° to find the equivalent heading.
Therefore, 401° - 360° = 41°.
The new heading of the airplane after completing the turn will be 41°.
