FREE RECIPROCAL HEADING PRACTICE

Build faster recall for opposite headings

Practice finding reciprocal headings and bearings without relying on an answer bank. The trainer mixes compass-dial exercises, timed recall, and runway-number questions so student pilots can recognize the direction 180 degrees opposite more quickly.

What you practice

Add or subtract 180 degrees, keep answers within 001–360, and connect full compass headings with runway designators.

Useful mental model

For headings of 180 degrees or less, add 180. For headings greater than 180, subtract 180. Preserve three-digit aviation formatting.

Training scope

Use the exercises to improve mental math and directional awareness. Verify runway information using current airport publications before flight.
