The magnetic variation to convert the RMI bearings of NDBs and VORs to true bearings will occur at the..
  • A
    aircraft position for NDBs and at the aircraft position for VORs.
  • B
    aircraft position for NDBs and at the beacon position for VORs.
  • C
    beacon position for NDBs and at the beacon position VORs.
  • D

    beacon position for NDBs and at the aircraft position for VORs.

An important fact is that the VOR radial information is determined at the VOR station – therefore, if you need to convert between True and  Magnetic when dealing with VOR bearings, you have to apply the value of Magnetic Variation valid at the place of the VOR station.For NDB/ADF bearings is the opposite: the bearings are taken at the aircraft, therefore the magnetic variation applicable at the aircraft’s position is to be used
