passing the signal, set a waypoint (“A”). • Use OBS mode off of “A” and re-approach target 180 degrees off first pass. Again, keep 001-005 relative bearing and mark a waypoint on passing. • Repeat from various directions and mark position on each passing (“B”, “C”, etc.) until confident in location. • If terrain allows, getting lower (as low as 1000 AGL) will give you a better position. • If you are correct, you should be able to circle the position and the Becker should show it continuously to the ...
