What are the diamond miles for V417 from MHZ towards MLU?

• A. 20 miles SW MHZ
• B. 19 miles SW MHZ
• C. 18 miles NW MHZ
• D. 17 miles NW MHZ

Answer: (A)

Diamond miles give you a distance reference along a military airway, marking how far you are from a designated point as you fly toward the next fix. They help you gauge position and plan where you are relative to airspace boundaries and restrictions. For V417 from MHZ toward MLU, the standard diamond mile reference from MHZ is 20 miles in the direction toward MLU, which lies to the southwest. So the diamond mile you’re using in that leg is 20 miles SW of MHZ. The other options would place you at different distances and the direction NW is not correct for traveling from MHZ toward MLU on that airway.
