What intersections are on V18, reading west to east?

• A. STUEE, DINKY, and HEDUD
• B. DINKY, HEDUD, and STUEE
• C. STUEE, BARNE, and ZAMMA
• D. HAZAL, RICKS

Answer: (A)

On an IFR enroute chart, VOR airways are drawn as lines with fixes (intersections) that lie along that path. Reading an east–west airway from west to east means listing the intersections in order of increasing longitude. For V18, the intersections that lie along the route from west to east are STUEE, then DINKY, then HEDUD. Those are the fixes that sit on V18 in that west-to-east order. The other names aren’t on this airway (or aren’t in that sequence), so they don’t fit the west-to-east progression. If you check the chart, you’ll see STUEE, DINKY, and HEDUD aligned along V18 in that order.
