QUJ

Navigation

QUJ is the Q code for the true bearing to a station, measured clockwise from true north. It tells you the direction from the aircraft to the station, using true rather than magnetic reference. It is the true equivalent of QDM, so you can convert between them with magnetic variation. A pilot uses it mainly in radio navigation questions and when comparing true and magnetic bearings.
