Arrive at the en route checkpoints within three minutes of the initial or revised estimated time of arrival (ETA) and provide a destination estimate.
Bottom line
The predicted heading takes the aircraft along the intended path and the GS establishes the time to arrive at each checkpoint and the destination. The heading and GS, as calculated, is constantly monitored and corrected by pilotage as observed from checkpoints. Computing course, time, speed, and distance information in flight requires the same computations used during preflight planning.
