Abeam
Abeam describes something located directly beside a ship or aircraft, at a right angle to its direction of travel.
In travel and nautical terms, abeam means something located at a right angle to the side of a ship or aircraft, or directly beside it. On a boat, if another vessel or landmark is abeam, it’s positioned straight out from the side rather than ahead or behind. Pilots also use the term when referring to a point that lies directly off the wing of an aircraft. Understanding directions like abeam helps sailors and aviators navigate and communicate positions accurately while traveling.
