The easiest thing is to pretend you are sitting in the airplane. Pilots and Air Traffic Controllers often refer to the nose of the plane as 12 O' Clock. ATC may tell you that there is traffic you need to watch for at a clock position. It is convenient then to think of the RBI sort of like a clock. 12 O' Clock is in front of your airplane and 6 O' Clock behind your airplane. etc.
Number one shows the purple cross, which represents the radio beacon's position on the ground, directly behind the aircraft and the RBI is pointing at 6 O' Clock, so it matches. For number 3 to be the correct answer, the RBI needle would have to be pointing at 3 O' Clock. It doesn't, so 3 is not the correct answer.

I hope the post two up is not from a troll. Six whole posts so far and five of them pushing the MyEguide. Should he be in marketing or is he just a grateful wannabe?
Nobody knows about it yet because the MyEguide.co.uk domain name was only registered on November 18th according to the Whois database records. Should we really believe that flyingman88 found this non-advertised, non-promoted site, bought and used the guide, booked OAA assessment and passed it all since 18th November? Given that OAA's assessment is usually booked a month in advance, I smell a rat.
If the guide is worth a darn then that's great, but I have to wonder if Flyingman88 is actually the author or at least promoting the guide for the author.

Some really great info in here from everyone thanks a lot to all, and best of luck to those going for the assessment.
Anyone who has used the GSCE Physics and Maths books or are using them could you say how long it would take to completely "brush up" on them, and how usefull they are or where? (13 years out of school here)
Also, For the compass question, what does RBI stand for (Radio Beacon Indicator?) are we supposed to already know or is it a guess? Does look a bit complicated.
