What is the definition of fly-by waypoint?

• A navigational point that is circled before proceeding.
• A navigational point that is passed close to without stopping.
• A waypoint which requires turn anticipation to allow tangential interception of the next leg of a route or procedure

• A waypoint that requires a stop for refueling.

What is the definition of fly-over waypoint?

• A fly-over waypoint is a waypoint at which a turn is initiated in order to join the next leg of a route or procedure

• A fly-over waypoint is a location where an aircraft can land.
• A fly-over waypoint is a point that an aircraft must avoid.
• A fly-over waypoint is a navigation point that an aircraft can fly around.

What is the definition of a track to fix (TF) leg in FMS LNAV?

• A track to fix (TF) refers to a physical location for repairs.
• A track to fix (TF) is a software feature for enhancing performance.
• A track to fix (TF) is a type of musical composition.
• It is a leg which is intercepted and acquired as the track from an aircrafts current position to the next waypoint.

What is the definition of a direct to fix (DF) leg in FMS LNAV?

• A direct to fix (DF) leg requires a specific altitude to be maintained.
• A direct to fix (DF) leg is a leg which described by an aircrafts track from an initial area (present position) direct to the next waypoint.

• A direct to fix (DF) leg is used for holding patterns in FMS LNAV.
• A direct to fix (DF) leg indicates a mandatory stop at a waypoint before proceeding.

A course to fix (CF) leg in FMS LNAV is a leg with?

• A random path to an unspecified location.
• A path that requires multiple turns before reaching the fix.
• A circular route around a waypoint.
• A path that terminates at a a fix with a specified course at that fix.

What is the definition of a radius to fix (RF) leg in FMS LNAV?

• A radius to fix (RF) leg is a straight line segment connecting two points.
• A radius to fix (RF) leg is a flight path segment that maintains a constant radius around a specified point.
• A radius to fix (RF) leg is a vertical flight path segment.
• A radius to fix (RF) leg is a flight path segment that varies in radius around a specified point.

What level of certainty is required by PBN (Performance-Based Navigation) for the navigation standard specified?

• 90% certainty is required by PBN for the navigation standard specified.
• 80% certainty is required by PBN for the navigation standard specified.
• 100% certainty is required by PBN for the navigation standard specified.
• 95% certainty is required by PBN for the navigation standard specified.

What does the "Desired Path" represent in a PBN system?

• The path over the ground the aircraft is expected to fly

• The route that requires the most fuel in a PBN system.
• The path an aircraft should avoid in a PBN system.
• The shortest distance between two points in a PBN system.

Which part of the RNAV system provides the estimated path?

• Autopilot Control Panel (ACP)
• NAV function

• Ground Control Station (GCS)
• Navigation Display Unit (NDU)

What does Path Definition Error (PDE) represent in PBN?

• PDE refers to the performance metrics of a PBN system.
• PDE is a type of data packet used in PBN communications.
• PDE represents the difference between desired and defined paths

• PDE indicates a successful path configuration in a PBN network.
