What are the diamond miles for V18 from MHZ towards MLU?

• A. 19 miles SW MHZ
• B. 20 miles SW MHZ
• C. 17 miles NW MHZ
• D. 23 miles NE SQS

Answer: (A)

Diamond miles show how far along an airway the next fix lies from the named fix, in the direction you’re flying. So for V18, when you go from MHZ toward MLU, the chart indicates that the next fix along that segment is 19 miles away and located to the southwest of MHZ. That’s why the correct reading is 19 miles SW of MHZ. The other directions or distances don’t match the labeling for this V18 segment in that direction.
