and distance from a VOR-DME/VORTAC/TACAN/ILS-DME or MLS as follows:
a. When a fix is not named, state the name of the NAVAID followed
by a specified radial/localizer/azimuth, and state the distance in miles
followed by the phrase "mile fix".
EXAMPLE -
"Appleton zero five zero radial three seven mile fix."
"Reno localizer back course 4 mile fix."

b. When a fix is charted on a DP, STAR, en route chart, or approach
plate, state the name of the fix.
c. Use specific terms to describe a fix. Do not use expressions
such as "passing Victor Twelve" or "passing J Eleven."
