What are changeover points?
Changeover Points (COP) The COP is a point along the route or airway segment between two adjacent VORs where changeover in navigation guidance should occur. At this point, the pilot should change the navigation receiver frequency from the station behind the aircraft to the station ahead.
Why are Meas sometimes depicted with directional arrows?
Arrows are used to indicate the direction to which the MEA applies. The minimum obstruction clearance altitude (MOCA), as the name suggests, provides the same obstruction clearance as an MEA; however, the NAV signal reception is ensured only within 22 NM of the closest NAVAID defining the route.
When no MEA is depicted the MEA on a jet route is?

| If NO changeover point is depicted along an airway, it means that | the changeover is to be made at the halfway point between the two NAVAID’s. |
What is the primary benefit of having preferred IFR routes?
What is the primary benefit of having preferred IFR routes? Allows planning of routes to be completed in an efficient and orderly manner, minimizing changes in flight.
What are RNAV routes?
Area navigation (RNAV) is a method of navigation that permits aircraft operation on any desired flight path within the coverage of ground- or space-based navigation aids, or within the limits of the capability of self-contained aids, or a combination of these.
Why do minimum crossing altitudes exist?
When obstacles along the airways are such that a normal climb beginning at the fix defining an airway segment is not adequate to provide proper obstacle clearance, a minimum crossing altitude (MCA) is published for the fix indicating the minimum altitude at which the fix must be crossed when entering that specific …
Which publication shows updates and changes to VFR maps?
The VFR Chart Updating Data section of the CFS provides a means of notifying VFR chart users of significant aeronautical information to update the current aeronautical charts.
How do you do a vot check?
If your airport does have a VOT, here’s what to do:
- Tune your VOR to the VOT signal.
- Set the course selector to 0 degrees, and the track indicator should be centered.
- The TO-FROM indicator should read FROM.
- Next, set the course selector to 180 degrees.
Where is the VOR changeover point on V70?
Where is the VOR changeover point on V70 between Sabine Pass and Lake Charles? Halfway point.
What do Preferred IFR routes beginning with a fix indicate?
If they begin or end with an airway number, it indicates that the airway essentially overlies the airport and flights normally are cleared directly on the airway. Preferred IFR routes beginning or ending with a fix indicate that pilots may be routed to or from these fixes via a SID route, radar vectors, or a STAR.
Why is Area Navigation RNAV?
RNAV is a method of navigation which permits the operation of an aircraft on any desired flight path; it allows its position to be continuously determined wherever it is rather than only along tracks between individual ground navigation aids.
