Which statement correctly pairs the NAVAID type at MCB with its sector?

Which statement correctly pairs the NAVAID type at MCB with its sector?

• A. VORTAC in H27 PCU LO
• B. VORTAC in H28 PCU LO
• C. VOR/DME in H27 PCU LO
• D. VORTAC in H27 PCU HI

Answer: (A)

Understanding how NAVAID type and sector labeling relate on MAP charts is key. A VORTAC provides both VOR and TACAN signals, making it a common, joint-use NAVAID for navigation. The sector designation H27 PCU LO identifies the specific low-altitude area (LO) associated with MCB. So the correct pairing is the VORTAC located in the H27 PCU LO sector because it matches both the NAVAID type and the correct low-altitude sector for MCB. The other options would place the NAVAID in a different sector (H28), use a different NAVAID type (VOR/DME instead of VORTAC), or denote the high-altitude sector (HI), which doesn’t apply to the intended low-altitude area.
