Which heading option matches the Echo to Hughes leg?

• A. 120
• B. 300
• C. 060
• D. 240

Answer: (B)

When flying a straight leg with no wind, the heading you fly equals the magnetic bearing from the starting fix to the destination. The Echo to Hughes leg on the chart runs toward the northwest, so the magnetic bearing along that track is about 300 degrees. Therefore, the correct heading is 300 degrees. The other directions listed (120, 060, 240) point southeast, northeast, and southwest, which do not align with the Echo-to-Hughes track.
