What is the distance from DESKE to GLH?

• A. 50 miles
• B. 52 miles
• C. 48 miles
• D. 46 miles

Answer: (C)

Distances between fixes along a published route are shown as the leg distance on the chart. You use that leg distance for timing and fuel calculations, not a simple straight-line measurement between the points. For the segment from DESKE to GLH, the published leg distance is 48 miles, which is why that option is correct. The other numbers correspond to different segments or approximations, but the official distance for this leg is 48 miles.
