What are the diamond miles for V245 coming out of JAN APCH?

• A. 26 miles SW MHZ
• B. 17 miles NE MHZ
• C. 21 miles NE MCB
• D. 24 miles NW SQS

Answer: (A)

Diamond miles are the measured distances along a victor airway shown on enroute/MAP charts. They tell you how far you have to travel along the airway to reach the next navigation aid or fix, helping you fix your position and plan timing as you transition between procedures. For V245 exiting JAN approach, the chart marks a diamond mile of 26 miles in the southwest direction toward the MHZ VOR. That means the next point along V245, after JAN APCH, is 26 miles away on a southwest bearing toward MHZ. The direction and the distance match the chart’s depiction for that segment, which is why this option is the correct one. The other options would imply different directions, distances, or downstream fixes that aren’t shown for this specific segment.
