95. Given QDM 248° and VAR 10°W, what is QTE?
Answer
058°
Explanation
QDM points from aircraft to station; QTE points from station to aircraft and is true. Taking the reciprocal and applying west variation gives **058°**. **Key takeaway:** Reverse the bearing when changing from to-station to from-station. **Glossary:** QTE: true bearing from station to aircraft.
