1
Q

Are radials magnetic or true?

A

Magnetic

2
Q

Related to convergency:

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

A

meridian

3
Q

The aircraft variation should only be considered for -

A

RMI NDB bearings, and not VOR bearings.

4
Q

In terms of true and magnetic heading:

The relative bearings can only be added to a -

A

true heading

5
Q

Aircraft variation is irrelevant for which beacon type?

A

VOR

6
Q

The two basic rules for plotting is:

A
  1. measure tracks at the mid meridian

2. Measure distance at the mid latitude

7
Q

are radials(VOR) magnetic or true?

A

Magnetic

8
Q

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

A

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

9
Q

On the plotting chart, when finding coordinates:

The longitude is given within the -

Latitude is given -

A

box

On top of the box

10
Q

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

A

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

11
Q

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

A

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

12
Q

A RB is measured clockwise from -

A

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