Your task
Read the GYRO heading, then the RBI bearing relative to the aircraft nose. Select both an aircraft heading and its zone around the beacon.
Keep in mind
The RBI needle points toward the station; the answer compass describes the aircraft position around the station. Confusing these produces a reciprocal error.
Technique & worked examples
Add heading and relative bearing to find bearing TO the beacon. Reverse that bearing by 180 degrees to locate the aircraft FROM the beacon.
Session format & results
Four heading choices and eight position zones. Select and confirm on touchscreens, or drag an aircraft to a zone on desktop. Guided feedback explains the geometry.
Review the debrief before repeating. Compare attempts using the same device and settings. Local results are practice measurements, not official scores or predictions of selection.
