Not sure what notation you are using when you say
"blowing in at 53° "

is North your 0° and you are going clockwise, or
is 0° your positive x - axis and you are going counterclockwise ?
Answered by Steve
Assuming the normal 0° at North, and ignoring the misuse of the word "bearing", I'd say that the resultant <b>heading</b> of the plane is 246.7°
Answered by Steve
I meant 336.7°
