Late night PPRuNeing strikes again! You are right, I used bearing when you said radial. How about its an airport with both an NDB and VOR and my plane is only ADF equipped?
So you're navigating with reference to the NDB - say 'bearing'. I get your point, although I've heard many people say 'radial' at an NDB only equipped aerodrome. And, not just light aircraft!
I know I didn't have a grasp on bearings and radials on my first solo nav, but my gosh I should have, it's not difficult if someone takes 5 mins to explain it to you!
Agreed.
