You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Not in my opinion.
The plane's radial from the airport is atan(110/160) =~ 34.5 degs
The reciprocal is 214.5 degs.
===============
North is 360 degs
East is 090
South is 180
West is 270
-------------
55 deg SW is meaningless
=====================
People who don't know about aviation and navigation should not attempt to compose problems about it.
If you don't know what you're talking about, keep quiet.
