[ADF operation] What is coastal effect?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When evaluating coastal effect in ADF operation, the first step is to identify what phenomena can cause bearing errors for aircraft relying on radio navigation.
Option 1 says: 'Errors introduced in the ADF signal because of p-static and electrical interference.' While static and interference can affect radio signals, they are general noise/error sources and not specifically the coastal effect, so this is not the defining feature we seek.
Option 2 states: 'Hard iron effects in aircraft result in ADF bearing errors.' Hard iron distortions are related to magnetics and compass-based systems, not ADF bearing errors caused by coastal transitions, making this answer inaccurate for this question.
Option 3 asserts: 'Bending of the ADF signal when passing from land to water.' This matches the concept of coastal effect, where the transition from land to sea changes the propagation environment (permittivity, conductivity), causing the bearing line to bend on the ADF indication.
Option 4 claims: 'ADF bearing information can only be received from in front of aircraft.' This is incorrect because ADF reception is not restricted to a specific direction; bearings can be obtained from various azimuths, though accuracy may vary due to effects like coastal effects.
In summary, the coastal effect is specifically about the alteration or bending of the ADF signal as the aircraft moves across land–water boundaries, which is captured by option 3. The other options describe unrelated or inaccurate concepts about ADF errors or reception.
