RNAV presents to the pilot what information from RNAV?

• A. Actual track, groundspeed, and position
• B. Altitude, fuel, and wind
• C. Course to fix, vertical speed, and time
• D. Mag var, altitude, and airspeed

Answer: (A)

RNAV is used to show where you are and how you’re moving along the assigned route. The three key pieces it provides are your actual track over the ground, your groundspeed, and your current position on the flight plan.

Actual track tells you the path you’re actually flying over the earth, which can differ from the direction you’re pointing due to wind. Grounds peed helps you gauge how quickly you’re progressing along a leg and aids calculating leg times. Position shows your precise location relative to the next waypoint or fix, so you can confirm you’re where you’re supposed to be.

Other data like altitude, fuel, wind, or time-related cues aren’t what RNAV primarily displays for navigational guidance.
