Which leg has a heading of 150 degrees?

• A. FISH to Tower 438
• B. Pond to Pond Creek
• C. SITE X to Tree Field
• D. Bend to Gator

Answer: (C)

Reading the charted route involves identifying the direction of each leg. A heading of 150 degrees points roughly southeast—30 degrees east of due south. Look at the line from SITE X to Tree Field on the map: its orientation is toward the southeast, which corresponds to about 150 degrees. The other legs point in different directions, so they don’t have a heading of 150 degrees. In TH-73 practice questions, the indicated bearing on a route is typically the magnetic heading unless the problem says otherwise, so this leg is the one that matches 150 degrees.
