Angles & Bearings

Angles & Bearings explains the directional language pilots use to navigate and fight. This section covers headings, courses, bearings, radials and relative bearings, plus common call formats like “bearing to station,” “bearing to target,” and clock-position references. The goal is to make numbers like 045, 270, or “bandit 2 o’clock” instantly meaningful in DCS, instead of just noise on the radio.
