What are the diamond miles for V18 in MLU LO?

• 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 a protected separation distance on a military airspace chart, shown as a distance in miles and a direction from a reference point (here, MLU LO). For the V18 segment in the MLU LO area, the chart labels the distance as 15 miles in the northeast direction from MLU. That precise readout matches the required protection for that portion of the airway, so 15 miles NE of MLU is the correct specification. The other directions or larger distances aren’t what the chart shows for this segment, so they don’t apply.
