What is the radial from VOR Brünkendorf (BKD) (53°02'N, 011°33?E) to Pritzwalk (EDBU) (53°11'N, 12°11'E)?

  • A

    024°

  • B

    204°

  • C

    248°

  • D

    068°

Refer to figure.
Radial is a magnetic bearing extending from a VOR (QDR).

1. Firstly, locate the VOR Brünkendorf (BKD) and Pritzwalk (EDBU) aerodrome using the coordinates given and looking for the corresponding symbol.

2. The green circle around the VOR BKD works as a protractor, which is aligned with the Magnetic north. Thus, any straight line emanating from the centre of the VOR symbol represents a magnetic bearing or radial (or QDR).

3. Draw a straigh line from the centre of the VOR symbol intersecting the centre of the Pritzwalk (EDBU) aerodrome symbol.

4. Using the green circle-protractor, the straight line passes through 068°.

5. Since the green circle-protractor is aligned with the Magnetic north, then the drawn line is magnetic bearing 068° or radial 068.
