hey folks
Can someone help me understand how to solve problems like this? Im kinda stuck

An NDB is located in position 4500S 14500W. Your ADF indicates relative bearing 292° to this NDB. The convergence between the NDB and your DR position is 10°. Variation is 11°E at the NDB and 15°E at your DR position. Your magnetic heading is 295°. Using an Equatorial Mercator chart, you shall plot the position line, correcting for the convergence.

What is the true direction of the plotted line of position, as plotted from the NDB?


What will, based on the plot calculations, the initial magnetic heading be if you decide to fly the great circle track from your present position to the NDB?
You calculate to get 7° right drift along the track to the NDB
