Refer to chart E(LO)2_02 from Jeppesen GSPRM 2017.
Given the following bearing and range information obtained from DEN HELDER (HDR) VOR/DME (52°54´N, 004°46´E), what is the aircraft's position? (Note: Slant range corrections should be ignored)

Radial: 258°
Range: 63 NM

  • A
    52°42´N, 003°04´E
  • B
    53°10´N, 003°03´E
  • C
    52°46´N, 003°48´E
  • D
    52°46´N, 003°42´E

Refer to figure.

  1. Locate DEN HELDER (HDR) VOR/DME;
  2. Make a line from HDR VOR parallel to the closest meridian => True North reference;
  3. Find the variation at the station, which will correspond to the value of the closest dashed line. In this case, the variation is 1ºE. Therefore, our True Bearing equals 259º. Using a plotter, draw a line from the station at this bearing;
  4. 1º lat = 60 NM => Using this reference, measure the distance of 63 NM along the line.

Final position:

  • 52°42´N, 003°04´E
