Diamond miles for V18 in MLU LO are which distance?

• A. 15 miles NE MLU
• B. 16 miles SE MLU
• C. 31 miles NE MLU
• D. 31 miles SE MLU

Answer: (A)

Diamond miles mark how far a Victor airway stays inside a military low-area like MLU LO, shown on the chart as a distance in miles with a quadrant direction. For V18 through MLU LO, the chart’s diamond mile annotation sits in the northeast portion of the LO, indicating the relevant segment is the northeast side of the boundary. That northeast diamond mile value is the one you’d select. The other options don’t match the chart’s indication for this airway within MLU LO, either placing the marker in the wrong direction or representing a distance that isn’t shown for that segment.
