How is the quadrantal rule applied to VFR flights in Hungary? I'm looking for a clear explanation for this quadrantal rule question (it applies to Hungary):


  A VFR pilot is cruising, en-route in level flight, above the transition level of FL035. His magnetic heading is 355°, and he sees that by having allowed for 8° of starboard drift he is exactly on track. What would be an appropriate Flight Level for the pilot to choose in accordance with the Quadrantal Rule?
Since the question is about Hungary, the answer will be in Hungary's AIP.

ENR 1.2 says:


  2.6. VFR flights in level cruising flight, when operated above 3 500 FT (1 050 M) MSL, shall be conducted at a level appropriate to the track specified in the table of cruising levels (ENR 1.7 para 3.).


(Emphasis mine.)

And by referencing that table (PDF) in ENR 1.7, it becomes clear Hungary uses a semicircular/hemispheric, and not a quadrantal rule.

The pilot's starboard drift will make their actual track 355 + 8 = 003°. VFR flights use the IFR rule + 500 (see below), so for this "eastbound" flight the pilot should fly odd + 500, an example would be FL 55.
