2. To get a FROM flag in view on the horizontal situation indicator when the magnetic bearing to the very-high frequency omnirange station is 75 degrees, the selected course should be manually set to?

Explanation

To get a FROM flag in view on the horizontal situation indicator when the magnetic bearing to the very-high frequency omnirange station is 75 degrees, the selected course should be manually set to 210 degrees. This is because the FROM flag indicates that the aircraft is flying away from the station, and to achieve this, the selected course should be set 180 degrees opposite to the magnetic bearing of the station. Therefore, setting the course to 210 degrees would ensure that the aircraft is flying away from the station and the FROM flag is displayed.

25. If the horizontal situation indicator displays a magnetic heading of 45 degrees and a magnetic bearing of 5 degrees to the tactical air navigation station, then the relative bearing is?

Explanation

The relative bearing is the angle between the aircraft's heading and the direction of the target. In this case, the aircraft's magnetic heading is 45 degrees and the magnetic bearing to the TACAN station is 5 degrees. To find the relative bearing, we subtract the magnetic bearing from the magnetic heading: 45 degrees - 5 degrees = 40 degrees. However, since the relative bearing is always measured clockwise from the aircraft's nose, we subtract the result from 360 degrees: 360 degrees - 40 degrees = 320 degrees. Therefore, the correct answer is 320 degrees.
