What are Victor Airways?
This air navigation route system consists of airways designated from 1,200 feet above the surface (or in some instances higher) to but not including 18,000 feet MSL. Victor Airways are delineated on the ground by very high frequency omnirange radio (VOR) equipment. Each VOR station has a discrete radio frequency, numbering of Victor Airways: even numbers east/west, odd numbers north and south. The airway includes airspace within 4 miles each side of the center line of the airway. Victor airways are delineated on charts as V-1…. Most new MFDs and GPS units such as the Honeywell KMD-550, KMD-850, Skymap IIIC (with enhanced database), and KLN-94 are capable of displaying Victor Airways on the GPS moving map.
