RNAV is Radio Navigation ("nav"). It is a form of electronic navigation that uses DME and other signals to form a point in the distance that an aircraft can fly to even though there is no actual signal coming from that point.
DME is Distance Measuring Equipment. It is an electronic device located in an aircraft that can measure the distance between that aircraft's location and a point sending out a signal.
What is the Navigation reference point on the VFR terminal area chart used for?
The Navigation reference point on the VFR terminal area chart is used for guiding VFR aircraft around the TCA. The VFR point allows small aircraft to fly around the TCA without entering that space.
What are the VFR Waypoints on the VFR terminal area chart used for?
The VFR Waypoints on the VFR terminal area chart are used to guide VFR aircraft around the TCA. VFR makes it possible for light aircraft to fly without entering the space reserved for commercial aircraft and fast flying jets.
Why are the VFR terminal area charts always updated so often?
The VFR terminal area charts are updated often because they contain a relatively small area around an airport. They can contain many different changes for that area in a short period of time.
