On a PAR/ASR, you are being guided by which and not a which?

• A. Controller, NAVAID
• B. NAVAID, Controller
• C. Radar, Beacon
• D. Pilot, Controller

Answer: (A)

On a PAR or ASR, the pilot is guided by the controller through radar-based instructions. The controller uses radar to track the aircraft and then provides precise headings, altitudes, and descent instructions for the approach. A ground-based navigation aid (NAVAID) like VOR, localizer, or glideslope does not provide the live guidance in this radar approach; the aircraft follows ATC instructions instead. So the correct idea is being guided by the controller, not by a NAVAID.
