What is the specific function of the Minimum Stabilization Distance (MSD) in RNAV procedures?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the specific role of Minimum Stabilization Distance (MSD) within RNAV (Area Navigation) procedures. The options provided suggest different possible functions related to waypoint spacing, flight path deviation, error buffering, and approach stabilization. We need to choose the option that accurately reflects the purpose of MSD.
Answer
MSD computes the minimum distance between waypoints in RNAV procedures.
The Minimum Stabilization Distance (MSD) in RNAV procedures is used to compute the minimum distance between waypoints.
Answer for screen readers
The Minimum Stabilization Distance (MSD) in RNAV procedures is used to compute the minimum distance between waypoints.
More Information
MSD ensures that there is sufficient distance for an aircraft to complete a turn and stabilize before commencing the next maneuver.
