Guys I see a lot are struggling with spatial orientation. It’s basically two elements.
1. where is the plane facing... easy.
2. Where is the beacon relative to the plane
so if the plane is NW then this is 315 degrees and if the beacon is E then this is 90 degrees.

315+90 = 405
405-360 = 45 degrees which is NE

therefore the dot should be NE of the plane. (ie no. 6)

So now that you understand the technicalities it should help you With the visual.

I really hope this helps some of you. This was a real head melt when under time constraints.
