To parallel the power lines, in which direction should you turn?

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

Answer: (C)

To fly parallel to power lines you want your flight path to run along the lines’ length. In this setup the lines are oriented East-West, so turning toward the West puts your heading aligned with that axis, giving a path that runs parallel to the lines. Turning north or south would take you across their length, not along it, so they wouldn’t be parallel.
