If receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) capability is lost in flight...

The pilot has no assurance of the accuracy of the GPS position

The pilot may still rely on GPS derived altitude for vertical information.

GPS position is reliable provided at least 3 GPS satellites are available

A VORTAC station is represented by

A single dot inside a square.

A single dot inside a hexagon with tabs on three of the sides.

When the course deviation indicator (CDI) needle is centered using a VOR test signal (VOT), the omnibearing selector (OBS) and the TO/FROM indicator should read

0° FROM or 180° TO, regardless of the pilot's position from the VOT.

0° TO or 180° FROM, regardless of the pilot's position from the VOT.

180° FROM, only if the pilot is due north of the VOT.
