The NAV antenna on the horizontal stabilizer serves which navigation aid?

• A. DME
• B. GPS
• C. ILS
• D. VOR

Answer: (D)

The NAV antenna on the horizontal stabilizer is the VHF navigation antenna used for VOR signals. It picks up the VOR station’s signal, feeding the VOR receiver so you can determine your bearing relative to the station and display it on the CDI/HSI. GPS has its own GPS antenna, and ILS signals (localizer and glideslope) are handled by other equipment and antennas, not this NAV antenna. DME is a distance-measurement system that is typically associated with the VOR/DME pair but isn’t the primary purpose of this NAV antenna. So, the navigation aid handled by this antenna is VOR.
