Hi All, so its been 2 years since my PPL and I thought that was plenty of time gone by to finally start my instrument rating. So as I prepare for my checkride here within the next week and a half, I have been having some trouble with the XC planning for the checkride. The problem I am having is determining a Magnetic heading to maintain to stay on course to the destination. I am not to sure if magnetic variation comes into play here, or if it does then should I add the Wind correction angle in with variation. The reason I am confused is because I was told that on the low enroute chart, the airways are already magnetic, and not true as with VFR sectionals. So if someone could help me determine the best way to find the correct heading to maintain, I would greatly appreciate that. The route of flight is as follows: KOCF-SADEY-LAL-RINSE-QUNCY-Direct KFMY
