bearing/distance references
Whenever I've wanted to put an arbitrary point into a flight plan without having to resort to lat/long, I've used bearing/distance references in the form "VORbbbdd" where VOR is the ident of the facility, bbb is the QDR and dd is the distance in NM.
For example, DTY18020 would be a point 20NM south of the Daventry VOR.
This seems to work so I presume I am doing it right - but I would like to know where in the AIP this format is specified so I can be sure I am doing this right. Does anyone know?
Thanks,
Andy
