After Baker enroute to Pond, what is the approximate heading and the highway you parallel?

• A. 270, Hwy 1
• B. 290, Hwy 89
• C. 310, Hwy 17
• D. 250, Hwy 84

Answer: (B)

When navigating between named fixes, you fly the course toward the next fix and use a prominent ground feature to confirm you’re on that track. For the Baker to Pond leg, the route line runs in a northwestward direction, so the approximate heading to stay on course is about 290 degrees. A clear ground reference that runs roughly parallel to that path is Highway 89, which you would parallel along this segment. In short: head about 290 degrees and parallel Highway 89.
