In phraseology, what does the segment 'Victor Fourteen' designate in a clearance?

• A. The Altitude
• B. The Destination
• C. The Route Segment
• D. The Aircraft Identity

Answer: (C)

Victor Fourteen designates a fixed low-altitude airway, i.e., the route segment you’re cleared to fly. “Victor” is the prefix for low-altitude airways, and the number identifies the specific airway (V14). So together they tell you to follow that defined path between navigation aids as part of the clearance. It isn’t about altitude, a destination, or the aircraft’s identity—the altitude would come later in separate instructions, the destination would be the airport or fix named, and the aircraft identity is the call sign.
