  • QDM = Magnetic bearing from the aircraft to the station.
  • QDR = Magnetic bearing from the station to the aircraft.

Therefore, only one calculation should be done, converting Magnetic bearing from the station (QDR) into Magnetic bearing to the station (QDM):

  • QDM = QDR + 180 = 067° + 180° = 247°
