In visual flight planning, what does the term "overhead-to-overhead" distance refer to?
Answer
The direct straight-line distance between the departure and destination aerodrome reference points
Explanation
The supplied chart result is **55 NM**. Overhead-to-overhead means measuring between the aerodrome reference positions, rather than measuring a detour or using the variation value. **Key takeaway:** Use the correct endpoints and unit when measuring route distance. **Glossary:** Overhead-to-overhead: position-to-position measurement between aerodromes.
