Radio Bearings

Question 1

QTE is -

Answer 1

a true bearing from a station

Question 2

QDR is -

Answer 2

a magnetic bearing from a station

Question 3

QDM is -

Answer 3

a magnetic track to a station

Question 4

QUJ is -

Answer 4

a true track to a station

Question 5

The bearing which is received by the ADF is measured

And is called a -

It is the angle between the -

Answer 5

clockwise from the nose of the aircraft

relative bearing

nose of the aircraft and the beacon

Question 6

Is the relative bearing magnetic or true?

Answer 6

Neither, it’s simply an angle. But the angle can only be added to a true heading, not magnetic or compass.

Question 7

VOR QDR & QDM are magnetic or true?

Answer 7

Magnetic

Question 8

When doing VOR bearing problems, aircraft variation is and heading is?

Answer 8

irrelevant, only station variation should be considered

Question 9

Aircraft variation should be removed for?

Answer 9

relative bearing problems

Question 10

Station variation should be removed for?

Answer 10

VOR radial problems

Question 11

For relative bearings problems, station variation is?

Answer 11

irrelevant, aircraft variation should be considered.

Question 12

An RMI presents a relative bearing as -

But, in order to find QUJ or QTE, what should still be considered?

Answer 12

a QDM or QDR.

Aircraft variation
