From PT RUSTY, proceeding direct to Goliad, turn toward Bayside at approximately which heading, and at what altitude and airspeed?

• A. ~350, 4500' MSL, 200 KIAS
• B. ~360, 5500' MSL, 240 KIAS
• C. ~360, 6500' MSL, 220 KIAS
• D. ~355, 5000' MSL, 230 KIAS

Answer: (B)

The situation tests choosing a turn that lines you up with the Bayside leg while staying at a safe altitude and a stable training speed. From Goliad, turning toward Bayside is best done on a roughly northbound track so you intercept Bayside directly and without a wide arc. Keeping a mid-range altitude provides the necessary obstacle clearance and airspace separation for this phase of flight, rather than dropping to a lower level or climbing too high for comfortable maneuvering. A steady, appropriate training cruise speed ensures you remain controllable through the turn and ready for the next leg. The other options would push you off the Bayside alignment, place you at an altitude that’s either too low for terrain/traffic safety or too high for this segment, or use a speed that isn’t the standard training pace for this entry. That combination matches the Bayside entry profile used in this scenario, making it the best fit.
