What's the point of a QUJ?
Was reading the magically gripping book "CAP413" recently.
In the section on VHF Direction Finding, it suggested that I could call a "homer station" and ask for a QDM, QDR, QTE or a QUJ.
QDM: Magnetic heading to steer from where I am at the moment, to where I want to go (assuming no wind drift). Easy - use compass and D.I.
QDR: Magnetic bearing of aircraft from a station. Like a VOR radial, ya mean. Part of the info needed to work out where I am.
QTE: True bearing of aircraft from a station. Use protractor or plotter, based on lines of lat. and long. Also part of the material needed to work out where I am.
QUJ: True heading to steer from where I am at the moment, to get to where I want to go (assuming no wind drift).
True heading? I don't have anything in the aircraft that lets me fly a true heading - what do I do with a QUJ? (apart from apply variation to it whilst wishing that I'd asked for a QDM).
