Which VORTAC is associated with the diamond mileage V11 w/ Sector 12?

• A. MHZ VORTAC
• B. PHX VORTAC
• C. LAX VORTAC
• D. SQS VORTAC

Answer: (D)

Diamond mileage on an enroute chart shows the distance between VORTACs along an airway, and the small diamond with a sector number tells you which segment of the airway that distance applies to. For V11, the mileage labeled with Sector 12 corresponds to the end of the segment near a specific VORTAC. In this case, tracing that sector on the chart points to the SQS VORTAC as the associated facility. The other VORTACs listed are not on that same sector of V11, so they don’t match the diamond mileage for Sector 12.
