Aircraft Heading = 040°M
Relative Bearing = 030°
HDG + RB = QDM
040°M + 030° = 070°M
Magnetic Variation = 8° W (Applied at aircraft, for NDB and Airborne
Weather Radar plots)
Variation West = Magnetic Best or -8° using sign convention
C D M V T
070°M -8° 062°T
This is the QUJ (True Bearing TO the headland).
To plot the QTE (Aircraft position FROM the headland) add 180° to find
the reciprocal.
062°T + 180° = 242°T
Plot a 80NM line from the headland on this
bearing and you should find it lands smack at N 49° 25' W 007° 30'.
