Where is the Morse code decoded identity typically displayed for a navaid?

• A. Above the active frequency.
• B. On the left side instrument panel.
• C. In the NAV/RAD pages.
• D. In the top right corner of the PFD.

Answer: (A)

When you tune a navaid, you need a quick, reliable way to confirm you’re receiving the intended station. The Morse code identity is decoded and displayed right above the active frequency so you can read the ident while you tune and instantly compare it with what you hear. This placement keeps the identity closely tied to the current tune on the nav display, making verification fast without switching screens or scanning different parts of the cockpit. If the decoded ident doesn’t match the station you expect, you know something’s off—you might be cross-tuned, off frequency, or listening to a different navaid. Placing the ident elsewhere would require extra steps to view it, which is less convenient during the tuning process.
