Multiple Choice

Which is a V245 radial path starting from HEZ?

A VOR radial path is shown as a line that starts at the origin VOR and extends along a specific radial. To describe the same line from both ends, charts use the origin’s outbound radial and the destination’s reciprocal radial. So a V245 path starting from HEZ is represented by listing HEZ with its outbound radial and the destination VOR with the reciprocal radial at the other end, showing the same line in the opposite direction. The pairing HEZ044/MHZ223 does exactly that: it places HEZ on a 044-degree direction and MHZ on a reciprocal 223-degree direction, which aligns on the same straight line as a V245 outbound path from HEZ. The other options either don’t start at HEZ or don’t present the destination on the corresponding reciprocal radial for the same line.
