Navigation
You can now choose to follow the direction to the beacon, or you can take a
bearing from another beacon and then make a cross bearing (you will learn
about this later).
So, we have:
MH + RB = MB
Magnetic heading + relative bearing = Magnetic bearing
Task:
o
The pilot receives a QDR of 225 from the VDF station.
Where is the plane in relation to the VDF station?
Solution:
When the pilot receives a QDR from a VDF station, it means that he is in a
o
magnetic direction of 225 from the station.
He must therefore be southwest of the station.
Task:
o
o
The following is given: QDR = 022 , variation = 10 E
What is QTE (true bearing from the station)?
Solution:
QDR is the magnetic direction the aircraft is in relative to a radio beacon.
We need to find the true direction from the radio beacon to the aircraft (QTE).

o
When the variation is 10 E, MN is 10 to the right of TN and the 10 must
therefore be added to ODR.
QTE = 22+10 = 32 o
