What are the diamond miles for V555 in PCU LO?

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

Answer: (C)

Diamond miles indicate how far along a published airway you are from a specific point or sector boundary, and the direction shows where that point lies relative to you. For V555 in the PCU LO sector, the chart shows a diamond mile measurement to the fix MCB. The distance to MCB along that leg is 21 miles, and the direction is northeast. So the correct interpretation is that you’re 21 miles away from MCB on V555 in a northeast direction from the PCU LO side. The other distances and directions would correspond to different points or legs that aren’t the MCB fix on this airway in this sector.
