What is the ABLE to FISH heading?

• A. 90
• B. 100
• C. 110
• D. 120

Answer: (C)

The heading from ABLE to FISH is the magnetic direction you would steer to fly directly from ABLE toward FISH. To find it on a chart, you locate both fixes, draw the straight line between them, and read the magnetic bearing along that line. If the chart gives a true course, you convert it to magnetic by applying the local variation; if the chart already shows the magnetic course, that value is the heading you’d use. In this item, the ABLE–FISH line points along 110 degrees, so the magnetic heading to fly is 110. With no wind information provided, you don’t adjust for wind, so heading equals the bearing of the route. The other options would correspond to directions that don’t align with the ABLE–FISH path.
