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

Answer: (A)

Diamond miles show how far you are from the next navigation fix along a published route, marked as a diamond on the chart. They help you gauge your position and time to the next point on departure or arrival. For leaving JAN APCH on the V9-11 departure, the next fix along the route is MHZ, and the chart lists that fix at 17 diamond miles from JAN on a northwest course. So the correct diamond miles to expect as you depart are 17 miles toward MHZ. The other distances correspond to different fixes or directions not on the immediate V9-11 path from JAN APCH.
