Which V route has the Sidon holding pattern radial 256?

• A. V427
• B. V535
• C. V557
• D. V555

Answer: (D)

V routes are defined by radials from VORs, and holds at fixes are published with a specific outbound course. A Sidon hold on radial 256 means you would fly outbound from the Sidon VOR on the 256-degree radial, then turn to intercept the inbound course back toward Sidon. Among the routes listed, the one that includes that Sidon hold on 256 is the airway associated with V555. The other routes do not publish the Sidon hold on that radial, so they don’t match the specified holding pattern.
