ATPL: The magnetic heading of an aircraft is 040°. On the Airborne Weather Radar display the relative bearing of and the distance to the most southerly part of Lands End (approximate position: 50°03'N , 005°40'W) are, 030°R and 80 NM.What is the position of the aircraft based on these observations?The slant range correction and the map convergency between aircraft position and lands end may be neglected.
