Refer to figure Enroute_ED-4_VFR. Refer to Jeppesen GSPRM Training Route Manual - VFR Chart ED-4.
Find the magnetic course for a flight from Germany to Czech Republic. Departure airfield is REGENSBURG (EDNR, N49° 08.52' E012° 04.92') and destination airfield is STRUNKOVICE (LKSR, N49°4.95' E14°4.55').
  • A
    272°
  • B
    089°
  • C
    082°
  • D
    093°

Refer to figure.

1. Start by locating your departure airfield - REGENSBURG (EDNR) and your destination STRUNKOVICE (LKSR).
2. Using your plotter, measure the course at the Meridian between the above 2 airfields (from EDNR - LKSR) => approx. 92º

  • Note that 092º is the TRUE course and you are asked for the MAGNETIC course => a variation must be applied:
3. To the West of REGENSBURG (EDNR), the blue dashed line provides a variation of 2.5ºE.
To the East of STRUNKOVICE (LKSR), the blue dashed line provides a variation of 3ºE.
  • The average variation = 2.75ºE approx. 3ºE
4. Last step is converting TC into MC = 92º - 3ºE = 089º
