The NAVAID changeover point is depicted by which symbol?

• A. Z symbol
• B. X symbol
• C. O symbol
• D. Triangle symbol

Answer: (A)

The changeover point is the location along an airway where you switch from one navigation aid to the next to keep reliable guidance. The Z symbol marks that exact point on enroute charts, telling you when to begin transitioning your navigation source from the current NAVAID to the next one to maintain accurate guidance as you progress. This symbol is specifically used for COPs, so it’s the best indicator for planning the handoff. Other symbols don’t denote when to changeover, so they wouldn’t reliably signal this action.
