Navigation

In the picture on the previous page, the needle is centered. If the needle had

been one dot to the right, it would mean that the course line to the station was

2 degrees to the right. Each dot is 2 degrees, so the entire scale shows +/- 10

degrees.

9.9.3.3 Heading, radial inbound, radial outbound

As can be seen here, there is no

direct relationship between radial

and heading.

The aircraft here follows radial

315 (outbound) and regardless of

the aircraft's heading, the radial

does not change.

On the VOR instrument in the cockpit it will look like this.

Below you can see the relationship between

the concepts heading, radial inbound, radial

outbound.

If you fly directly on the radial towards the

VOR station, the inbound radial will be your

heading plus or minus 180⁰, depending on

o
o
whether you are north or south of 90 /270 .

If you fly directly on the radial from the VOR station, the outbound radial will be

the same as your heading.
