In an FMS navigation display, which elements are shown in magenta?

• A. Active leg and active waypoint
• B. Only the destination
• C. All legs
• D. Active waypoint only

Answer: (A)

Magenta highlights the elements the pilot is actively following on the route. The active leg is the segment being flown now, and the active waypoint is the next target point along that route. Showing both in magenta makes it easy to see what the aircraft is currently pursuing and where it’s headed next, distinct from the destination or any non-active legs. That’s why the best answer is that the magenta elements are the active leg and the active waypoint.
