In the nav guidance failure on the pilot's side, what action did the crew take to continue the approach safely?

• A. Continue with the failed nav guidance on your side
• B. Reconfigure the aircraft so both nav guidance read off the pilot's side and re-execute
• C. Abort the approach and divert
• D. Land as soon as possible regardless of guidance

Answer: (B)

When navigation guidance fails on one side, the safest route is to consolidate guidance onto a single, healthy source and re-run the approach. Reconfiguring so both nav guidance read off the pilot’s side ensures both channels provide the same, verified reference. This eliminates conflicting cues that can confuse the crew and degrade stability, allowing a clean, continued approach with a known-good path. Once aligned, you can proceed with the approach using the reliable guidance and recheck that every parameter matches the required profile. Continuing with partial or conflicting guidance or attempting to land without reliable guidance increases risk, so establishing a single, valid reference and executing again is the prudent action.
