What does an airway bypass indicate on a Jepp chart?

An airway bypass on a Jeppesen chart is represented by a half-circle around a navigational aid (navaid), which indicates that the navaid is not part of the structured route. This feature helps pilots understand that they may need to navigate around or avoid the navaid when following the published route. It serves as a visual cue for planning purposes during flight, informing pilots to disregard that particular navaid when executing their flight plan or navigation.

Understanding airway bypasses is critical for pilots to ensure they stay on the designated route and comply with air traffic control instructions. This information helps enhance situational awareness, allowing pilots to make informed decisions throughout their flight. Other options do not accurately describe what an airway bypass signifies or could potentially mislead pilots in their navigation practices.
