Refer to figure or VFR chart ED-4 from the Jeppesen GSPRM 2017.
What is the True Course and distance for a direct flight from Scharnstein aerodrome (LOLC) (N47°54' E013°56') to Trieben aerodrome (LOGI) (N47°30' E014°30')?
Refer to figure.
Note: This question is similar to question 339888.
For this question you need a plotter to both find the true track and measure the distance between Scharnstein (LOLC) and Trieben (LOGI) aerodrome .
- Firstly, find the exact position of LOLC and LOGI aerodrome symbols on your Jeppesen ED-4 chart, using the coordinates given and draw a line with your pencil to connect these two points.
- Center your plotter at the centre of the LOLC aerodrome symbol, since the question asks for the track from LOLC aerodrome.
- Align the upper section of your plotter with the line which connects the two aerodromes.
- Rotate the plotter’s disc, until its arrows are parallel with the chart’s meridians and indicate the True North.
- The aligned with the route LOLC to LOGI plotter’s arrow indicates the True Track 137°.
Furthermore, it is known that the ED-4 chart's scale is 1:500 000, as depicted in the frontal blue page of your GSPRM's ED-4 chart. For better accuracy, measure the distance between the centre of the two aerodrome symbols.
So, using the appropriate scale of your plotter (SECTIONAL 1:500 000), you will find that the distance between LOLC and LOGI is 33 NM.
