Which method is used by the pilot to insert RNAV waypoints into an aircraft’s FMS?
  • A
    Manually by selecting the CRS/DISTANCE on an HSI.
  • B
    Manually by inserting one waypoint at a time, during the flight.
  • C
    Automatically sent from the pilot’s electronic flight bag (EFB) to the FMS.
  • D
    Automatically loaded into the FMS using a company route registration/airport pairing from the navigation database.

Navigation monitoring requires the generation of an FMS flight plan. This plan is composed of elements stored in the unit’s navigational database, that contains all data required to represent a flight plan in the area of aircraft operation.

Pilots are usually allowed to enter a route pairing and/or flight number into the INIT page of the FMS which will typically retrieve their route from an existing company route in the navigation database.
