From Sidon to Bigbe, what is the listed mileage?

• A. 13 miles NW (to Greenville)
• B. 24 miles NW
• C. 23 miles NE
• D. 14 miles NE (to Bigbe)

Answer: (D)

In navigation charts, the distance shown on a leg is the mileage along the airway from the current fix to the next fix, with the direction indicating where that next fix lies. For the segment from Sidon to Bigbe, the label reads 14 miles in the NE direction toward Bigbe. That means the distance you’d fly is 14 miles, and the next fix you’re tracking toward is Bigbe, which lies to the northeast of Sidon. The other options describe different destinations or different directions and don’t match the Sidon-to-Bigbe leg, so they aren’t the correct listing.
