FISH to Tower 438 heading?

• A. 150
• B. 100
• C. 120
• D. 180

Answer: (A)

Fly the direction that takes you along the line from FISH to the Tower. The heading you set is the nose direction you point, which should match the magnetic bearing to the Tower on that leg if no wind is specified. In this case, the bearing from FISH to the Tower is 150 degrees, so the correct heading to stay on course is 150. The other headings would steer you off the direct path to the Tower. If wind were given, you’d adjust the heading to maintain the same ground track, but with no wind information, the bearing itself is the right heading.
