An aircraft flies on a direct route from Waypoint A to Waypoint B on a true course of 291°. What is the reciprocal true course for the return flight from Waypoint B to Waypoint A?
Answer
111°
Explanation
The chart key gives a true course of **291°**. Ensure the direction is from Fürstenfeld to Weiz; reversing the route would produce a reciprocal course roughly 180° different. **Key takeaway:** Route direction matters when reading course. **Glossary:** Reciprocal course: direction opposite a given course, differing by 180°.
