Plotting Radio Bearings

Question 1

Are radials magnetic or true?

Answer 1

Magnetic

Question 2

Related to convergency:

When plotting a beacon radial, it is important to place the protractor to the nearest -

Answer 2

meridian

Question 3

The aircraft variation should only be considered for -

Answer 3

RMI NDB bearings, and not VOR bearings.

Question 4

In terms of true and magnetic heading:

The relative bearings can only be added to a -

Answer 4

true heading

Question 5

Aircraft variation is irrelevant for which beacon type?

Answer 5

VOR

Question 6

The two basic rules for plotting is:

Answer 6

1. measure tracks at the mid meridian

2. Measure distance at the mid latitude

Question 7

are radials(VOR) magnetic or true?

Answer 7

Magnetic

Question 8

Should radials(VOR) be plotted as magnetic or true on a lambert chart?

Answer 8

as true, lambert chart is in reference to true north.

Question 9

On the plotting chart, when finding coordinates:

The longitude is given within the -

Latitude is given -

Answer 9

box

On top of the box

Question 10

When plotting a NDB QTE or QUJ, and an aircraft heading in magnetic and relative bearing is given, what should be remembered?

Answer 10

The magnetic heading of the aircraft must first be converted to true before the relative bearing can be added.

Question 11

When plotting a QTE or QUJ from a VOR when a radial is given, what should be remembered?

Answer 11

Before plotting on a true map, the VOR variation must first be subtracted/added before plotting.

Question 12

A RB is measured clockwise from -

Answer 12

the nose of the aircraft, it is an angle, not magnetic or true.
