Demystifying - Three-figure bearings

Drills

Directions measured clockwise from north and always written with three figures, so 45° is recorded as 045°.

Author note — to cover

Bearings measured clockwise from north and always written with three figures, 045 not 45: read, measure, draw and state the bearing of one point from another, including on scale drawings. Back bearings and journey calculations are the sibling page; trigonometry on bearings diagrams waits for the trig pages. Both tiers. (G15)
