What are the airways that KHKS is inbetween?

• A. V557 - V9
• B. V9 - V11
• C. V555 - V11
• D. V245 - V557

Answer: (A)

Victor airways are the low-altitude routes defined by VOR radials, forming corridors you fly along. A fixed point like KHKS can lie on more than one airway, meaning you’d be on one airway when you approach the fix and on another after passing it. When a question says KHKS is between two airways, it means KHKS sits on the shared segment of those airways on the chart. In this case, KHKS sits along both V557 and V9, so the airways that define its position are V557 and V9. The other pairings don’t pass through KHKS together on the low-altitude chart, so they aren’t the correct combination.
