(For this question use the chart "E(LO) 5 from the Jeppesen GSPRM 2017). A route connects the waypoint AMGAR (42°33'18.40"N, 003°15'12.00"W) with TABANERA VOR (42°01'39.00"N, 004°06'33.00"W). What kind of route is this?

  • A

    ATS route used by non B-RNAV equipped aircraft.

  • B

    Direct ATS route.

  • C

    RNAV ATS route.

  • D

    Conditional ATS route.

ATS route is a specified route designed for channelling the flow of traffic as necessary for the provision of air traffic services. The term ATS route is used to mean variously airway, advisory route, controlled or uncontrolled etc.
Area navigation (RNAV) is a method of navigation which permits aircraft operation on any desired flight path within the coverage of ground or space - based navigation aids or within the limits of capability of self-contained aids, or a combination of these.

The waypoint AMGAR and TABANERA VOR are along an ATS route, W71. Along this ATS route RNAV (Area navigation) method can be used within the coverage of BUR VOR/DME.

Therefore, the section of the ATS route W71, which connects AMGAR and TABANERA, is an RNAV ATS route and is followed by the supplementary letter "R", which stands for "an RNAV ATS route not identified by the Designator".
