NAVIGATION : Fixes and Bearings

At 1415 aircraft was overhead a VOR maintaining radial 215deg en route for B, heading 210deg (M). At 1430, the pilot decides to return to the VOR. The heading to steer is:

040deg (M)

Overhead HEIDELBERG VOR (HGV), (S26°42’ E028°18’), en route DURBAN INTERNATIONAL (S29°58’ E030°58’), TAS 120kts, W/V 100/15. The mean magnetic heading to steer is:

160° (M)

The mean magnetic track and distance from BISHO (S32° 55’ E027° 16’) to BURGERSDORP (S30° 58’ E026° 20’) is:

001° (M) and 127 nm

Aircraft heading 175deg (C) variation 18deg W, deviation 4deg W. The aircraft’s true heading is:

153deg (T)

An aircraft inbound to DURBAN INTERNATIONAL DNV obtains a fix at 40 DME, radial 013 DNV and diverts to RICHARDS BAY. The true track required is:

064° (T)

An aircraft is overhead HEIDELBERG en route to KIMBERLEY heading 230deg (T). At 1237 UTC a fix is obtained with a relative bearing of 230 KROONSTAD NDB and radial 014 WMV. From this fix the true track to KIMBERLEY is:

232deg(T)

An aircraft maintaining a heading of 331deg (M) obtains a relative nearing of 257deg from an NDB. If the aircraft variation is 21deg W, the bearing to plot from the NDB is:

027deg

  An aircraft, maintaining a heading of 295° (C), obtains a relative bearing of 345° from an NDB. If the aircraft’s variation is 20° W and deviation is 3° E, the bearing to plot from the NDB is:

083deg

VOR AAV, radial 163, aircraft variation 19deg W, station variation 21deg W. The true bearing to plot from AAV is:

142deg

An aircraft is flying from COOKHOUSE NDB (S32°45’ E025°49’) to GEORGE (S34°00’ E022°23’), drift 10°R. The relative bearing required from the COOKHOUSE NDB to maintain the track is:

192deg

An aircraft is flying from EAST LONDON, (S33° 03’ E027° 50’), to COOKHOUSE NDB, (S32° 45’ E025° 49’), drift 8°L. The relative bearing required from the COOKHOUSE NDB to maintain the track is:

352°
