FAA Figure 26Sectional chart excerpt (Cooperstown, ND)FAA-CT-8080-2H · Sport, Recreational, Private & Remote Pilot supplement
A
The degrees of latitude east and west of the Prime Meridian.
B
The degrees of latitude north and south of the equator.✓ Correct Answer
C
The degrees of latitude east and west of the line that passes through Greenwich, England.
Explanation
The parallel drawn near area 4 in Figure 26 is labeled 47 degrees; lines of latitude run east-west and measure angular distance north or south of the equator (PHAK Ch. 16). Distance east or west of the Prime Meridian through Greenwich, England, is measured by lines of longitude (meridians), not latitude.
