Select 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 are distance markers on military airspace charts that show how far you are along an airway from a fixed point, in a specific direction, for the low-altitude (LO) segment. For V18 as it passes through MLU in the LO area, the first marked diamond mile is 15 miles to the northeast of MLU. That’s why the correct reading is 15 miles NE of MLU. The other distances or directions would correspond to different markers along the route or different segments, not the LO portion shown for V18 near MLU.
