EASA NAV(A)basic
A GPS course-deviation display always uses a fixed full-scale sensitivity of ±10 NM.
Answer
false
Explanation
The indicated scale for full deflection depends on the GPS operating mode. Pilots must interpret the bar using the receiver's current sensitivity rather than assuming a fixed range. **Key takeaway:** GPS deviation sensitivity is mode-dependent. **Glossary:** **Operating mode**: The receiver's selected navigation phase or sensitivity setting.
