From point HUGHES, which direction should you turn to parallel Highway 90?

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

Answer: (B)

To parallel a highway, you fly in the same general direction the road runs at your location. In this area, Highway 90 is oriented east–west, and from the point HUGHES the continuation of the road that you’d be paralleling lies to the west. So turning toward the west keeps your track aligned with the highway and lets you fly alongside it. Heading north, south, or east would move you away from the highway or fail to stay on its line.
