49. VOR Hamburg radial 119° and Brünkendorf radial 320° are observed. What position is indicated by the cross-bearing?
Answer
53°20′N, 11°10′E
Explanation
The aircraft position is the intersection of the two plotted radial lines from the stations. The indicated intersection is **53°20′N, 11°10′E**. **Key takeaway:** A cross-bearing fix is formed by intersecting independent lines of position. **Glossary:** Cross-bearing: position fix from intersecting bearings.
