2. An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot flying on a heading of 090 degrees: "UNMANNED AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS THREE O'CLOCK, 2 MILES, ... " Where should the remote PIC (also visual observer and crew, if applicable) look for this traffic in reference to the small unmanned aircraft?
Traffic information will be given in azimuth from the aircraft in terms of the 12-hour clock. Thus, each hour would constitute an angle of 30 degrees. Picture a clock in your lap; three o'clock is to your right, nine o'clock is to your left, twelve o'clock is straight ahead, and six o'clock is behind you. If an aircraft is proceeding on a heading of 090° (east), traffic located at the three o'clock position would be 90° right of the nose, south of the aircraft. If the sUAS is being operated to the south of the aircraft, the aircraft itself is to the north of the operation.
