Unsure about your current position, you use two VORs for a cross bearing. Given the following information, what visual reference is suitable for reorientation at that position?
VOR/DME Magdeburg (MAG) (51.99°N, 11.79°E): Radial 103
VOR/DME Klasdorf (KLF) (52.02°N, 13.56°E): Radial 256
Refer to figure.
Radial is a magnetic bearing extending from a VOR (QDR).
1. Firstly, locate the VOR/DME Magdeburg (MAG) and VOR/DME Klasdorf (KLF) using the coordinates given and looking for the corresponding symbol.
2. The green 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).
3. Using the green circle-protractor, draw a straight line from MAG VOR which passes through 103° and a straight line from KLF VOR which passes through 256°.
4. The cross-bearing (intersection between the two radials) is the aircraft's position which lies exactly on the motorway crossing a country road at right angle east of the city Coswig.
NOTE:
The motorway is orange-coloured and the country road is red-coloured.
