This activity is designed to provide practice in the application of Lesson 3 converting grid azimuths to back azimuths

Convert grid azimuths to magnetic azimuths

In an outdoor, or indoor, environment, utilizing the skills developed, students convert grid azimuths to back azimuths. The students work in pairs and convert all ten azimuths.

Students will determine the azimuths in degrees. The student pairs will record their results and turn them in to the assistant instructor, or the instructor, for evaluation.

Both students must be prepared to brief instructor on the technique used to determine the azimuth conversions.

Convert the 10 listed grid azimuths to back azimuths.

Student Resources:

1. Writing paper

2. Pencil

3. 10 grid azimuths

Instructor Resource:

Determined 10 back azimuths

This exercise will be a 'go' or 'no-go' endeavor for this drill

To receive a 'go' the student must:

• determine the back azimuth conversions on all 10 problems
• record all 10 conversions and turn them into the instructor or assistant instructor
• Time constraints will be announced prior to the beginning of the exercise
• Each student will be required to brief the assistant instructor, or instructor, on the procedure they followed to obtain answers

Students not receiving a 'go' will seek the assistance of the an instructor.

Assistant instructors will be students who have received a 'go' and have been instructed on the required teaching techniques.
