- Contexto
- Pilots should use the magnetic bearing as reference only, because their navigation system will fly the true course from one significant point to another.
- Magnetic bearing on a PBN route segment. The magnetic bearing for a PBN route segment shall be based on the true course and the magnetic variation at the significant point at origin of the PBN route segment. The magnetic bearing shall be charted to the nearest degree. When a PBN route overlays an existing airway (joint conventional and PBN route) the VOR radial or the NDB magnetic bearing shall be charted.
