Flying with the System
However when an assigned area is defined only with two radials and two radii some
calculation must be accomplished.
Let us assume an assigned area defined as:
Radial1=30°, Radial2=70°, Min.radius=50 km and Max.radius=200 km
To convert this description the following calculation must be performed:

Direction set to FIXED.
 Angle12= (Radial2+Radial1)/2+180°=230°.
directions.
 Angle1= (Radial2- Radial1)/2=20°.
 Radius1=Max.radius=200 km.
 Radius2=Min.radius=50 km.
