During the LNAV approach, the missed approach point (MAP) is indicated by reaching which waypoint?

The correct answer is the RW30 waypoint, as it indicates the missed approach point (MAP) specific to the LNAV approach. In precision and non-precision approaches, the MAP is crucial because it marks the point where the pilot must decide whether to continue the approach or execute a missed approach procedure.

In the context of the LNAV approach, the approach plate will define specific waypoints, including the RW30, which is typically aligned with the runway threshold intended for the landing. When the aircraft reaches this waypoint, it signals that the minimum descent altitude (MDA) has been approached. If the required visual references for landing are not established at this point, the pilot is expected to execute a missed approach procedure.

The other waypoints mentioned—like the RW20, MAP, and APCH waypoints—may not serve specifically as the MAP for this particular LNAV approach, depending on the runway and the designed flight path. Only the RW30 waypoint designates the specified point where the decision must be made, making it key to safely navigating the final phases of the approach.
