plotting

Is this from Flight Planning on the NAP chart? Sounds vaguely familiar,

You'll need to plot it. Mark your two points, draw line joining them and then use your plotter at a point in the middle of your line as you're asked for the average track. Then correct for your magnetic variation at that half way point as well.

If I remember correctly in the Flight Planning exam theres only about 3 points you have to mark on the NAP chart and all the questions centre around them with combinations of distance, average track, initial track, true and magnetic. Dont try and take shortcuts with it as it's so easy to mess up.

Hope that helps.
