c) at the equator

25
Q

27
Q

What shape does a rhumb line have in a Mercator chart?

A

Straight

28
Q

A er á 10°W en B er á 0°W, what is the true bearing of point A from point B?

A

270°

29
Q

Ef þú ert að skoða kort með t.d. VOR og NDB stöðvum (blátt) og þú átt að teikna inn radíal, hvernig geturðu notað flaggið sem stendur við stöðina?

A

Flaggið bendir á magnetic north, ef flagg er t.d. í 360° og þú mælir 20° til vinstri út frá því þá veistu að það er radíal 330°.

30
Q

An aeronautical chart is conformal when:
