Final answer:

The question about groundspeed and magnetic heading given certain aviation parameters requires additional information or a specific computational method to provide an accurate answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the groundspeed and magnetic heading of an aircraft when given the forecast wind, magnetic course, TAS (true airspeed), and variation, one can utilize the wind triangle method or an E6B flight calculator. However, with the information provided in this question and the need for precise calculation, we are unable to solve the problem directly. More information, such as the method of calculation or additional data points, would be required to provide an accurate answer to this navigation question.
