What are the diamond miles for V9-11 leaving JAN APCH?

• A. 17 miles NW MHZ
• B. 20 miles SW MHZ
• C. 23 miles NE SQS
• D. 14 miles NE MLU

Answer: (A)

Diamond miles mark the charted distance along a published approach or departure where you transition from one sector or segment to the next, using a referenced navaid or fix. They’re a quick way to know where you’ll be handed off or where a segment ends while following the procedure. For V9-11 leaving JAN APCH, the chart shows the diamond mile in the NW direction toward the MHZ VOR, at 17 nautical miles. That specific distance and direction tell you where this departure segment exits JAN APCH and into the next sector. The other options point to different directions and different navoids (or airports) and therefore don’t match the published transition for this segment. So the 17 miles NW toward MHZ is the correct diamond mile for this scenario.
