KHKS is located between which two airways?

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

Answer: (B)

On enroute charts, airways are narrow corridors defined by VOR radials. To say a location is between two airways means that position sits in the geographic strip bounded by those two airway lines on the map. For KHKS, the chart shows it lying in the strip between the lines that represent V9 and V557. In other words, KHKS sits in the corridor defined by those two airways, so you could reach or cross KHKS along either V9 or V557. The other pairings don’t form the bounding corridor for KHKS on the chart, so they aren’t the airways that surround that location.
