Which two airways form the segment KHKS lies between?

Which two airways form the segment KHKS lies between?

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

Answer: (A)

The concept here is understanding that a waypoint lying between two airways means that fix sits on both airways, forming the boundary of that segment. KHKS is positioned on both Victor airways V557 and V9, so the stretch of airspace between V557 and V9 passes through KHKS. That makes V557 and V9 the correct pair of airways forming the segment KHKS lies between. The other pairings don’t both contain KHKS, so they don’t define the segment that KHKS occupies.
