True course measurements on a Sectional Aeronautical Chart should be made at a meridian near the midpoint of the course because the

Determine the approximate time, compass heading, distance, and fuel consumed during the descent.

An airplane descends to an airport under the following conditions:

Cruising altitude 6,500 ft
Airport elevation 700 ft
Descends to 800 ft AGL
Rate of descent 500 ft/min
Average true airspeed 110 kts
True course 335°
Average wind velocity 060° at 15 kts
Variation 3°W
Deviation +2°
Average fuel consumption 8.5 gal/hr

You have flown 52 miles, are 6 miles off course, and have 118 miles yet to fly. To converge on your destination, the total correction angle would be

To use VHF/DF facilities for assistance in locating your position, you must have an operative VHF

Determine the wind direction and speed.

GIVEN:
