What is the distance from Sidon to Holly Springs via V535?

• A. 49 miles
• B. 92 miles
• C. 75 miles
• D. 37 miles

Answer: (B)

When you fly a route that uses a Victor airway, the distance shown for that leg is the mileage along the published airway path between the fixes or VOR intersections, not the straight-line distance between the towns. For Sidon to Holly Springs via V535, the published leg distance along that airway is 92 miles. That mileage reflects the actual route you'd fly along the airway, including any curves or deviations dictated by the airway design. The other numbers would correspond to other legs or to straight-line distances, which aren’t what you’d use when navigating via the airway.
