MAGNETIC REFERENCE BEARING [1 record]

Record 1 2013-10-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Magnetism
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
DEF

The published bearing between two waypoints on a fixed RNAV [area navigation] route and will be published within the SDA [Southern domestic airspace].

OBS

The MRB is calculated by applying magnetic variation at the waypoint to the calculated true course between two waypoints. Pilots should use this bearing as a reference only, because RNAV systems will fly the true course between the waypoints.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Magnétisme
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
DEF

Relèvement publié entre deux points de cheminement sur une route RNAV [navigation de surface] fixe et sera publié dans les limites du SDA [espace aérien intérieur du Sud].

OBS

On calcule le MRB en appliquant la déclinaison magnétique au point de cheminement à la trajectoire vraie calculée entre deux points de cheminement. Les pilotes devraient utiliser ce relèvement uniquement à titre de référence, étant donné que les systèmes RNAV suivront la trajectoire vraie entre les deux points de cheminement.
