Which leg has a heading of 350 degrees?

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

Answer: (B)

Heading is the direction you’ll fly along a leg, measured clockwise from magnetic north. To find which leg has a heading of 350 degrees, you look at the leg’s direction on the chart and identify the line that points almost straight north with a slight tilt toward the west. The leg from SITE X to Tree Field runs nearly up the map with a small leftward tilt, which corresponds to about 350 degrees. The other legs depart in directions that are not near north, so they don’t match 350 degrees. If you need the exact value, you’d plot the leg on the chart and apply variation to convert true to magnetic bearing as needed.
