4. 4) The wind is out of the south and you're holding west on the 270 radial from the SXW VOR. How should you fly the pattern so you roll out on the inbound course using a standard-rate turn?

   You should compensate your pattern so that a standard rate turn will put you on the inbound course at rollout.
