Refer to figure.
After take-off from LOWL (Linz) on Route 1 (yellow), you head directly for KILO (point 1). How can you verify reaching KILO by using radio aids?
Remark: Radials and bearings are approximate.

  • A

    I head for LNZ NDB (327 kHz) relative bearing 352 together with a VDF bearing from LOLE.

  • B

    I tune in LNZ VOR/DME (116.60 MHz) radial 018 together with the corresponding DME reading.

  • C

    I head for LNZ NDB (327 kHz) relative bearing 214 together with a VDF bearing from LOLE.

  • D

    I tune in LNZ VOR/DME (116.60 MHz) radial 346 together with the corresponding DME reading.

Refer to figure.
A turning point can be verified using a VOR/DME navigational aid, through a radial and a DME distance, if tuning in its frequency.

Radial is a magnetic bearing extending from a VOR (QDR). The circle around the VORs 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).

DME distance is a slant distance from a DME.

Linz (LNZ) VOR/DME can be used to verify turning point KILO, if tuning on its frequency, 116.60 MHz.

Using the circle-protractor, draw a straight line from LNZ VOR/DME symbol, to find the radial which passes through turning point KILO. The radial from LNZ VOR/DME (116.60 MHz), passing through turning point KILO is R018.

The R018 along with the corresponding DME reading, will give the exact position of KILO point.
