What are the approximate headings from Pond to Bend?

• A. 290, then 315 to follow the unimproved road
• B. 315, then 290 to follow the unimproved road
• C. 270, then 300
• D. 300, then 270

Answer: (A)

When navigating by map features, you choose headings that match the directional relationship between the landmarks and any roads shown. From Pond toward Bend, the straight-line bearing is about 290 degrees, giving you the initial heading to reach Bend. Once you arrive near Bend, the route then uses the unimproved road, which runs roughly along a 315-degree direction. So the plan is to fly 290 to reach Bend, then switch to 315 to follow the road toward the next segment. The other options don’t align with the map’s displayed directions for Pond to Bend and the road that connects onward, so they don’t fit the intended path.
