Question

An aircraft is currently on a heading of 340° and has a relative bearing of 070°. If the aircraft intends to intercept a track of 070° at 060° and fly inbound to the station, what heading should they turn to?

Options:
A) 010°
B) 090°
C) 120°
D) 180°

Answer 1

To intercept the track of 070° at 060°, the aircraft should turn to a heading of 90°.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the heading the aircraft should turn to, we need to calculate the difference between the current heading and the intended track.

Given that the current heading is 340° and the intended track is 070°, we subtract 340° from 070°.

070° - 340° = -270°.

Since we want a positive angle, we add 360° to -270°.

-270° + 360° = 90°.

The aircraft should turn to a heading of 90°.
