Refer to E(LO)2 chart from the Jeppesen GSPRM 2017. Given the following magnetic bearing and range from POLE HILL (POL) VOR/DME (53°45’N, 002°06’W), what is the aircraft’s position?

Radial: 325°
Range: 30 NM
Slant range corrections should be ignored.

  • A
    54°14’N, 002°15’W
  • B
    53°59’N, 002°24’W
  • C
    54°14’N, 002°42’W
  • D
    54°09’N, 002°35’W
Refer to figure.

For this question you need a plotter to draw the radial from POLE HILL (POL) VOR/DME and a ruler to measure the range along the radial.

  • Firstly, find the exact position of POLE HILL (POL) VOR/DME on your E(LO)2 chart, using the coordinates given.
  • Center your plotter at the centre of the POLE HILL (POL) VOR/DME symbol and draw a radial of 325º.

Furthermore, it is known that the E(LO)2 chart's scale is "1 INCH = 15 NM", depicted on the upper section of the chart. So, the range of 30 NM, corresponds to 2 inches on the chart.

Finally, using a ruler, measure 2 inches along radial 325º to get the coordinates of the aircraft’s position: 54°09’N, 002°35’W.
