109. The pilot intends to approach an NDB on QDM 090°. MH is 095°; RBI changes from 355° to 358°. What is correct?
Answer
Crosswind increased; increase MH
Explanation
The relative bearing change indicates increasing drift from the desired inbound direction, so the pilot must increase heading to regain the required track. **Key takeaway:** Monitor bearing trend, not merely a single RBI reading. **Glossary:** RBI: relative-bearing indicator; QDM: magnetic bearing to beacon.
