Which route has 19 miles SW MHZ?

• A. V18 from MHZ towards MLU
• B. V557 in PCU LO
• C. V427 from MHZ towards MLU
• D. V278 from SQS towards IGB

Answer: (A)

This question tests how to read airway routing and locate a point relative to a navaid on an enroute chart. “19 miles southwest of MHZ” means a position measured along an airway that lies in the southwest direction from the MHZ navaid. The route that matches this is the one that travels from MHZ toward MLU along the V18 airway, because that path has a southwestward orientation from MHZ and passes through the 19-mile SW vicinity of MHZ. The other routes either don’t originate from MHZ or don’t pass through the MHZ area in the southwest direction toward their listed terminus, so they don’t place a point exactly 19 miles SW of MHZ.
