Arrange the steps for planning a route that depends on conventional radio navigation: consult current charts; identify the required navigation aids and route segments; check that coverage supports each segment; follow published headings, distances, and minimum altitudes.

### Why this is right Current charts provide the route and aid information to evaluate. After identifying the planned segments and aids, the pilot must ensure that coverage is available before relying on the published route information. ### The concept Conventional radio navigation is tied to the facilities and procedures shown on charts. A route may be unsuitable if a segment falls outside the coverage of its required aids. Published headings, distances, and minimum altitudes then guide the aircraft along the route that can be supported. Charts must be current because the aids, routes, or procedures may have changed. ### The order 1. Consult current charts: they provide the information to plan from. 2. Identify the required navigation aids and route segments: the planned route must be understood leg by leg. 3. Check that coverage supports each segment: the aircraft must be able to use the aids on which the route depends. 4. Follow published headings, distances, and minimum altitudes: these define how the supported route is flown. ### Terms - **Navigation aid (NAVAID)**: a system that provides information for navigation. - **Coverage**: the area where a navigation aid can be used. - **Minimum altitude**: the lowest altitude specified for a route segment or procedure in the applicable chart information. ### Remember Current chart, route and aids, coverage, then published segment requirements.
