Waypoint

Japanese: ウェーポイント - うぇーぽいんと
Waypoint

…Abbreviated as RNAV. Rather than sticking to the traditional air routes set between navigational aid radio facilities, specific or arbitrary points called waypoints are set on a map, and in principle, the route is flown between the waypoints. Waypoints are determined by latitude and longitude coordinates or the angle from a VOR station and the distance from a distance measuring device (DME), and the on-board computer calculates the flight route between the specified waypoints based on that information. When an inertial navigation system is used, in addition to the flight route between the waypoints, it is also possible to add a function to set a route parallel to it. …
