Which route has 18 miles NW MHZ?

• A. V557 from MHZ towards SQS
• B. V427 from MHZ towards MLU
• C. V535 towards HLI
• D. V9-11 leaving JAN APCH

Answer: (B)

Think in terms of a VOR airway path extending from the MHZ VOR. A point 18 miles NW of MHZ will lie along a path that leaves MHZ on a northwest-ward track. Among the options, the route that starts at MHZ and proceeds toward Monroe (MLU) follows a track that passes to the northwest of MHZ. So traveling 18 miles along that airway from MHZ puts you in the northwest quadrant relative to MHZ. The other routes either go in different directions from MHZ or originate from a different facility or approach procedure, so they wouldn’t place you 18 miles northwest of MHZ along their path. Therefore, the airway from MHZ toward MLU, V427, is the one that has 18 miles NW of MHZ.
