What are the diamond miles for V18 from MLU to MLU APCH?

• A. 15 miles NE MLU
• B. 16 miles SE MLU
• C. 31 miles NE MLU
• D. 31 miles SE MLU

Answer: (C)

Diamond miles show the distance along an airway between fixes, read directly from the enroute chart. They tell you how far you’ll travel from one fix to the next, and the direction notes which way that fix lies relative to the NAVAID. For V18 from MLU to the MLU APCH fix, the chart indicates 31 miles in the northeast direction from the MLU VOR toward the MLU APCH fix. So the best answer is 31 miles in the NE direction. The other distances or a southeast direction don’t match the actual layout of the airway segment on the chart.
