Need help with a navigation problem...
HI guys,
Ok, here is the question. I understand how to get the NDB true direction, but for the love of god, i cant understand how they came up with 273 Radial as the one the aircraft has intercepted.. Anyone?
An aircraft maintaining heading 140°(M) at 057°E (VAR 12°E) takes a relative bearing reading of 295° from an NDB station co-located with a VOR at 32°N 088°E (VAR 8°E). Find the true direction of the straight line that should be plotted from the NDB to the aircraft on a Mercator chart. Which radial has the aircraft intercepted at that moment? (Use mean latitude 27°N).
Correct answer: R-273°, 274°
