If you are 90 degree abeam of him then yes that is AOB 90 because AOB is indeed the target's relative bearing to you.

However if the target is presenting an AOB of 90, it cannot be said to be moving away from you.

If the target is moving away from you, it will be showing you an AOB of between 91 and 180.

Becasue the AOB finder can only resolve AOB's of 5-90, if the target is moving away from you, then you should subtract the computed AOB from 180.

It's all perfectly logical
