Wind triangle
Set track, TAS and wind. See how far you turn into the wind, how fast you go over the ground and what it costs in time.

True heading 053°, wind correction 13° right, groundspeed 85 kt.
Rule of thumb: the largest drift is 60 / TAS × wind = 60 / 100 × 25 ≈ 15°. When the wind blows at an angle to your track, it is less.
