Which distance equals 92 miles?

Which distance equals 92 miles?

• A. McComb to Magnolia via V555
• B. Sidon to Holly Springs via V535
• C. Monroe to Dorts
• D. Monroe to Magnolia via V417

Answer: (B)

Reading the published mileages along enroute airways is how you determine leg distances. Each segment between navigation fixes on an airway has a published mileage, which is the distance planned for that leg. In this case, the leg from Sidon to Holly Springs along that airway has a published distance of 92 miles. That means the segment distance used for flight planning is 92 miles, which is why this option is the correct choice. The other route segments correspond to different published mileages, so their distances do not equal 92 miles. This approach keeps you from relying on straight-line city-to-city distances and uses the charted airway distances pilots actually use for planning.
