Confused about relative magnetic bearing
Asked by: cessna186 6214 views Flight Instructor, General Aviation, Private Pilot, Student Pilot
I have the following question which I cannot answer and I do not understand, even though I know the right answer:
An aircraft is tracking away from an NDB maintaining a track of 300 with 5 of starboard drift. What bearing should the relative bearing indicator (RBI) indicate?
The correct answer is "185 relative", but I absolutely don't get it. Can anyone please explain it to me? Thanks!
