IFR Navaids - Performance Based Navigation

What best describes Navigation Specification?

• Only aircraft requirements needed to support a navigation application within a defined airspace concept.

• Only aircrew requirements needed to support a navigation application within a defined airspace concept.

• Both aircraft and aircrew requirements needed to support a navigation application within a defined airspace concept.

• The conceptually defined airspace application within a defined airspace concept.

What best describes Navigation Application?

• The application of a navigation specification and the supporting NAVAID infrastructure to routes, procedures, and defined airspace volume, in accordance with the intended airspace concept.

• Aircraft and aircrew requirements needed to support a navigation application within a defined airspace concept.

• Space-based NAVAIDs

• Area Navigation, requiring lateral navigation accuracy for 90% of the total flight time.

• Area Navigation, requiring lateral and vertical navigation accuracy for 95% of the total flight time.

• Required Navigation Performance, requiring lateral navigation accuracy for 95% of the total flight time.

An RNAV 1 route means...

• The aircraft must be able to follow the route, within one nautical mile either side of track, for 99.999% of the total flight time.

• The aircraft must be able to follow the route, within one nautical mile either side of track, for 90% of the total flight time.

• The aircraft must be able to follow the route, within one nautical mile either side of track, for 95% of the total flight time.

• The aircraft must be able to follow the route, within two nautical mile either side of track, for 95% of the total flight time.

RNP 1 means...

• The pilot will be alerted if there is a greater than 0.01% probability the aircraft could be more than two nautical miles off track.

• The pilot will be alerted if there is a greater than 0.001% probability the aircraft could be more than two nautical miles off track.

• The pilot will be alerted if there is a greater than 0.001% probability the aircraft could be more than one nautical miles off track.

• The pilot won't be alerted if there is a greater than 0.001% probability the aircraft could be more than two nautical miles off track.
