Question

Do traditional Nav aids need to be functional during a GPS stand-alone approach?

Options:
A) Yes, they must be operational and actively used
B) Only partially functional aids are required
C) No need to be working or monitored
D) They need to be working but not necessarily monitored

Answer 1

Traditional navigation aids should be functional during a GPS stand-alone approach to serve as a backup in case of GPS failure, but they do not need to be actively monitored.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to whether traditional navigation aids need to be operational during a GPS stand-alone approach. The correct response to this is option D) They need to be working but not necessarily monitored. While performing a GPS stand-alone approach, although these traditional navigational aids are considered backups and are not actively used for navigating the approach, they should still be functioning. The reason for this is that in the event of a GPS outage or failure, the traditional navigational system can serve as a fallback to maintain safe navigation. However, these aids do not need to be actively monitored, as the primary navigational tool in use is the GPS.
