addition, pilots should have an understanding of the various waypoint and leg types used in RNAV procedures; these are discussed in more detail below. (a) Waypoints. A waypoint is a predetermined geographical position that is defined in terms of latitude/longitude ... coordinates. Waypoints may be a simple named point in space or associated with existing navaids, intersections, or fixes. A waypoint is most often used to indicate a change in direction, speed, or altitude along the desired path. RNAV procedures make…
