What are the coordinates of the DVOR/DME Linz (LNZ)?

  • A

    N48°10' E014°02'

  • B

    N48°12' E013°20'

  • C

    N48°14' E014°06'

  • D

    N48°14' E014°11'

Refer to figure.
1. The DVOR/DME is in the eastern and northern hemisphres. Latitude increases as we move northwards and longitude increases as we move eastwards.

2. So, the DVOR/DME is north off the parallel of latitude 48°N, and east off the meridian of longitude 014°E.

3. The latitude increases as we move northwards and each small line along a meridian corresponds to 1 minute of arc. The DVOR/DME is 14 more minutes of arc (small lines) north from the parallel 48°N, so its latitude is 48°14'N.

4. The longitude increases as we move eastwards and each small line along a parallel corresponds to 1 minute of arc. The DVOR/DME is 6 more minutes of arc (small lines) east from the meridian 014°E, so its longitude is 014°06'E.

5. Therefore, the DVOR/DME's coordinates are: N48°14' E014°06'.
