Which fix is located at MHZ 335 @ 30 miles?

• A. YAZOO
• B. HEDUD
• C. HATER
• D. KVKS

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is reading a fix defined by a VOR radial and distance from that navaid. MHZ 335 @ 30 miles means the point on the 335-degree magnetic radial from the MHZ VOR, 30 nautical miles away. On the chart, that exact location is labeled with a fix name, which in this case is YAZOO. So you identify the fix by tracing the 335° radial out from MHZ to the 30-mile distance; the named intersection you reach there is YAZOO. The other options would lie on different radials or distances and thus do not match the specified location.
