Refer to figure.
An aircraft is departing following ANDIK 2F SID from Amsterdam with an aircraft with RNAV equipment fully operational. The aircraft should...

  • A

    Turn as directed by ATC.

  • B

    Turn by waypoints input in the FMC.

  • C

    Use VOR SPL and intercept PAM radial.

  • D

    Use EH019, EH20, EH43 radio signals.

Refer to figure
As seen with Schiphol SIDs, page 10-3C lists all common instructions and restrictions across all SIDs, with individual instructions and restrictions given on the appropriate SID page. The SIDs begin at the departure end of the runways and end at ANDIK, which is the end of the SID.

RNAV SID is an instrument departure route which relies on aircraft area navigation equipment for navigation guidance. SIDs and STARs for RNAV provide accuracy based on distance rather than on angular limitation as provided on a conventional SID and STAR, helping organise traffic in busy or confined airspaces.

At the bottom of the plate you can find the routing given in written form as well as pictorial form for both SIDs (from different runways) till ANDIK (end of SID):

SID RWY ROUTING
ANDIK 2F 04 041º track, at SPL R094 turn RIGHT, intercept PAM R271 inbound to D7.0 PAM, turn LEFT, 054º track, intercept PAM R015 to ANDIK.
RNAV: On 041º track to EH019, to EH020, to EH043, to ANDIK.

  • The question states that the aircraft is equipped with fully operational RNAV equipment. Therefore, the aircraft should turn by waypoints input in the FMC.

"use EH019, EH20, EH43 radio signals" is incorrect as those are RNAV waypoints, not radio signals.
