Yep, published on the sectional the same as any other route.

Give me an example.

I payed an instructor to teach me how to read a Sectional and do
flight planning for the purpose of real flying.

Since all you do is play with a PC flight simulator, it doesn't
matter where or how you "fly". It is just a game.

In other words, the Victor airways on sectionals do not have published
minimum altitudes. Why not just admit this, since anyone can look at a
sectional and see that this is true?

Huh?

In my sectionals the Legend says:

"Class E Airspace exists at 1200' AGL unless otherwise designated as
shown above."

together with:

"Class E Airspace low altitude Federal Airways are indicated by center
line."

So a Federal Airway is Class E, and between the text quoted above from
the Sectional Legend and the airspace markings on it, the base altitude
of the Victor airway appears "published" to me. Pick a spot on any airway
and you should be able to determine the base of Class E that marks its
base.

Anyway, according to Rod Machado's Private Pilot Handbook, the base of
Class E is raised along many Victor airways in mountainous regions in
order to avoid terrain from blocking VOR signals, not so as to avoid
obstacles to flight.

I haven't followed this thread, but unless I've misread, one person
appears to be arguing for opposite assertions:

"Victor airways have published minimum altitudes,"
"[...] Victor airways on sectionals do not have published minimum
altitudes."
