4 Minutes As BJ and Pete approach the area with the landing strip, they realize there is a mountain in the middle of the landing path. They look at the map and determine they will have to go around the mountain by going north, then east, then south to the landing strip.Figure out the magnetic courses for the three legs of the trip, considering both variation and deviation. You can get the true courses from the course lines drawn on the map. What is the magnetic course of the first leg? Assume you are flying from south to north, then east, and the line of variation is E 5o. Select the best answer.HINT: 1. True course plus or minus the variation equals magnetic course, "east is least, west is best." 2. Don't forget to add or subtract the deviation. 3. Northerly headings (270o to 089o) require that you add 2o deviation; southerly headings (090o to 269o) require that you subtract 2o deviation. A) 357oB) 355oC) 288oD) 002o |
