Training Air Wing FOUR (TW4) Primary Course Rules Practice Test

What is the bearing to the high bridge when landing RWYs 4, 31L/R, or 36?

Approximately 200 degrees Approximately 100 degrees Approximately 260 degrees Approximately 300 degrees

Correct Answer:

Approximately 200 degrees

Explanation:

Bearing is the direction from your current position to a landmark, measured clockwise from north. For these approaches, the high bridge sits roughly to the south of the aircraft’s final approach path, so the line from you to the bridge points about 200 degrees. That puts it a bit west of due south (180) by about 20 degrees, i.e., S20W, which matches the bridge’s actual location relative to the runway alignments 4, 31L/R, and 36. The other bearings would point you toward directions where the bridge isn’t located relative to the final approach corridor (for example, east, west, or northwest), so they don’t fit. Therefore, the bearing to the high bridge on these approaches is approximately 200 degrees.
