What is the minimum navigation equipment required to identify ANGOO intersection on V448 from YKM VORTAC to BTG VORTAC?

• A. Two VOR receivers
• B. One VOR receiver and DME
• C. One VOR receiver
• D. GPS receiver

Answer: (C)

On IFR enroute navigation, how you identify a published intersection depends on how that fix is defined. If a fix lies on the centerline of a published airway and is defined by that airway’s path rather than by two separate radials from different navaids, you can identify it with a single VOR receiver. ANGOO is located on V448 between YKM VORTAC and BTG VORTAC and is identified by the airway’s centerline as defined by that VOR’s guidance. You don’t need to compare two different VOR radials or measure a distance from a VOR to locate it; following the airway from YKM on the appropriate VOR signal lets you know when you’re at that point. Therefore only one VOR receiver is required for identification. Two VOR receivers would be needed only if the fix were defined by the crossing of two radials from separate VORs. DME would be required if the fix were defined by a distance from a VOR, and GPS, while capable, isn’t the minimum equipment in this scenario.
