96. Given QDR 067° and VAR 5°E, what is QDM?
Answer
247°
Explanation
QDM is the reciprocal magnetic bearing to the station: $067°+180°=247°$. Variation is unnecessary because both QDR and QDM are magnetic. **Key takeaway:** QDM and QDR are reciprocal magnetic bearings. **Glossary:** QDM: magnetic bearing from aircraft to station.
