RNAV Flashcards
1
Q
How does RNAV operate
A
Uses VOR/DME and VORTAC to generate phantom waypoints that are flown over rather than actual stations
2
Q
What is the accuracy of:
1-B-RNAV(basic)
2-P-RNAV(precision)
A
1- +- 5nm for 95% of flight
2- +- 1nm for 95% of flight
3
Q
What is the Flight Technical Error(FTE) for obstacle clearance during:
1-departure
2-initial and intermediate climb
3-en-route
A
1- +- 0.5nm, at dep end of rwy, 0.1nm is assumed
2- +- 1nm
3- 2nm
4

A
10nm
5
Q
How many omega stations are used for world coverage and how long is the transmission cycle
A
8 stations, 10 seconds
