Area Navigation (R-Nav)
Area Navigation System Area Navigation Systems (RNav) Area Navigation is a system which permits aircraft to fly on any desired track using VOR-DME or self-contained navigational aids like INS or both Phantom Stations generated by RNav as a bearing and distance from VOR-DME station assists in flying tracks without checking overhead a VOR Required Navigation Performance (RNP) is the standard of accuracy required while flying RNav routes Accuracy is defined on the basis of 95 % probability in both lateral as well as longitudinal directions For example, RNP 5 means…
