Which statement about the distance on V9 from MHZ to MCB is correct?

• A. The distance is 74 miles
• B. The distance is 60 miles
• C. The distance is 72 miles
• D. The distance is 72 miles SE MHZ

Answer: (C)

On Victor airways, the distance shown for a leg is the distance you fly along that segment between fixes or navaids. For the leg of V9 from MHZ to MCB, the published distance is 72 miles, so that statement matches the charted leg length. Distances are read directly from the airway’s leg data on the map or IFR chart; they’re fixed values, not altered by wind. The option that adds a directional qualifier (SE MHZ) isn’t a distance, so it isn’t the correct way to express the leg length. The other numbers would correspond to different legs or chart editions and don’t apply to this MHZ-to-MCB segment.
