Question: What information does the 'RNAV (GNSS)' designation on an approach plate primarily indicate?
Answer options:
- The approach requires a specialized RNAV system with inertial navigation capability.
- The approach can be flown using any type of RNAV system, including VOR/DME based. ✅ The approach relies on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers for navigation.
- The approach has a minimum of two waypoints for a fly-by turn.
Correct answer: The approach relies on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers for navigation.
Explanation: The 'RNAV (GNSS)' designation specifically indicates that the approach relies on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers (e.g., GPS, GLONASS, Galileo) for navigation. This distinguishes it from other forms of RNAV.
