MIA north of V278 is what altitude?

On victor airways, the altitude you must maintain between navigation fixes is the minimum enroute altitude, MEA, which guarantees obstacle clearance and reliable VOR reception along that route. For the segment north of the MIA VOR on airway 278, the MEA is 3,200 feet MSL. This is the lowest altitude that satisfies both obstacle clearance and navigation signal requirements on that leg. Lower altitudes would not ensure safe clearance or reliable signal, while higher values would be more than necessary. Always confirm the exact MEA on the current enroute chart for the specific segment.
