Which statement about the diamond miles for V555 from MHZ towards MCB is correct?

• A. 25 miles SE MHZ
• B. 40 miles SE MHZ
• C. 35 miles SE MHZ
• D. 35 miles NE MHZ

Answer: (C)

Diamond miles are the published distance markers along an airway between fixes, used to estimate position and timing. Reading V555 from MHZ toward MCB, the chart’s mile markers show a 35-mile distance in the SE direction toward MCB. That matches the route’s orientation and the distance between MHZ and MCB, making the statement 35 miles SE MHZ the best fit. The other distances don’t align with the published mileage on that airway, and the NE direction would point away from MCB on this segment.
