NOTE-If approaching with a TO bearing that is on a sector boundary, the pilot is expected to proceed in accordance with a “NoPT” routing unless otherwise instructed by ATC. 5. Altitudes published within the TAA replace the MSA altitude ... altitude requirements. The pilot can determine which area of the TAA the aircraft will enter by determining the magnetic bearing of the aircraft TO the fix labeled IF/IAF. The bearing should then be compared to the published lateral boundary bearings…

Determine Aircraft Position Over a Fix Made up of an NDB/Compass Locator Bearing Crossing a VOR/LOC Course: 1. Verify aircraft GPS system integrity monitoring is functioning properly and indicates satisfactory integrity. 2. A fix made up by a crossing NDB/compass ... locator bearing is identified by a five-letter fix name. Pilots may select either the named fix or the NDB/compass locator facility providing the crossing bearing to establish the fix as the active GPS WP. When using an NDB/compass locator…

GNSS-equipped aircraft cleared via filed published waypoints recallable from the aircraft’s navigation database. (c) Magnetic Reference Bearing (MRB) is the published bearing between two waypoints on an RNAV/GPS/GNSS route. The MRB is calculated by applying magnetic variation ... waypoint to the calculated true course between two waypoints. The MRB enhances situational awareness by indicating a reference bearing (no-wind heading) that a pilot should see on the compass/HSI/RMI, etc., when turning prior to/over a waypoint en route…

short legs are flown. To maintain the arc in Figure 9-18, proceed as follows: 1. With the RMI bearing pointer on the wingtip reference (90° or 270° position) and the aircraft at the desired DME range, maintain a constant ... heading and allow the bearing pointer to move 5°– 10° behind the wingtip. This causes the range to increase slightly. 2. Turn toward the facility to place the bearing pointer 5°– 10° ahead of the wingtip reference…
