What are the radials on V278 from SQS-IGB?

• A. SQS 084 - IGB 260
• B. SQS 086 - IGB 266
• C. SQS 089 - IGB 266
• D. SQS 086 - IGB 269

Answer: (B)

Radials define the path of a Victor airways by using the magnetic bearing from the VOR at each end. For V278 from SQS to IGB, you depart the SQS VOR on the 086-degree radial. When you arrive at the IGB VOR, you’re on the 266-degree radial from IGB, which is the reciprocal of 086 (180 degrees apart). This pairing—SQS 086 and IGB 266—maps the airway from SQS to IGB. Other options would not match the published route because they don’t align the radials that connect these two VORs along this airway.
