The following two questions which are/were in the CQB require students to distinguish between HOMING and TRACKING. I have no idea where they got these definitions from (probably a 1950's RAF navigation course).
Question 1.
Which statement is correct for tracking towards an NDB in an area with constant wind and constant Magnetic Variation?
Correct answer given by the database:
The Relative Bearing of the NDB should be equal (in magnitude and sign) to the experienced Drift Angle
Question 2.
Which statement is correct for homing towards an NDB in an area with constant wind and constant Magnetic Variation?
Correct answer given by the database:
The Relative Bearing of the NDB should be kept 000 deg;
These two questions have caused much head scratching among students in the past and will probably continue to do so in the future.
