Which radial does Natchez extend to VKS?

Which radial does Natchez extend to VKS?

• A. HEZ026
• B. V245
• C. V11
• D. V18

Answer: (B)

When navigating by VOR, a radial is a specific magnetic direction radiating out from a VOR station. Airway segments between VORs follow these radials, so the Natchez VOR to VKS segment is published on a Victor airway that lies along a particular radial from Natchez. That route uses the 245-degree bearing from Natchez, which on enroute charts is designated as V245. So the radial that Natchez extends to VKS is the 245-degree radial, i.e., V245. The other radials point in different directions or correspond to other VOR connections and don’t describe the Natchez-to-VKS segment.
