The CMNPS off-track distance category includes which range?

• A. 50 to 70 NM
• B. 30 to 50 NM
• C. 70 to 90 NM
• D. 10 to 30 NM

Answer: (A)

Off-track distance tells you how far you are from the planned flight path laterally, in nautical miles, and CMNPS groups these deviations into bands to rate navigation performance. The fifty to seventy nautical miles band is the category described here, indicating a substantial but bounded lateral departure from the intended track. This range is used to classify the severity of the off-track condition within the standard, helping determine whether the performance meets the defined tolerance. Smaller bands would indicate smaller deviations, while larger bands indicate more extreme off-track conditions, so the fifty-to-seventy range is the appropriate category for this item.
