To parallel the power lines after SNAKE, which direction do you turn?

• A. West
• B. North
• C. East
• D. South

Answer: (A)

To parallel a linear feature like power lines, you set your heading to match the lines’ orientation after completing the preceding maneuver. Here, the power lines run roughly east–west, so turning to the west puts you on a track that runs along the length of the lines. This keeps the lines parallel to your flight path, which is the goal for the next leg. Turning north or south would take you away from that parallel alignment, and turning east would head in the opposite direction along the same line, which isn’t the setup described.
