355 may be Northwest but the face is facing southwest the direction from which the plane came, and that is the real issue which seems to always be forgotten. So the Northwest face also faces to the southwest or is there no such thing as southwest?

Well you are dealing with a richie who claims to be an engineer. Any way if you were dealing with only 8 points of the compass the each point would cover an equal 45 degrees and both 3 and 355 would be considered north. With 16 points 3 and 355 would be considered north. And even if you were using 32 points 3 and 355 would be considered north. At 32 points a point covers 11.25 degrees. So 355 would be north and nor North By West that is centered at 345 45' I'm always amazed how someone who claims to be an engineer like richie can be unable to express concise descriptions.
