NAVTEX message format is denoted in which manual?

NAVTEX message format is denoted in which manual?

• A. CG Aids to Navigation Manual
• B. NAVTEX Guidelines Manual
• C. COSPAS-SARSAT Handbook
• D. INMARSAT Safety Manual

Answer: (A)

NAVTEX is part of aids to navigation, so the official reference for how its messages are constructed and transmitted comes from the Coast Guard Aids to Navigation Manual. That manual covers the structure, labeling, and procedures for NAVTEX broadcasts, including how navigational warnings and weather information should appear so different stations can interpret them consistently. The other manuals focus on unrelated areas—the COSPAS-SARSAT Handbook on search-and-rescue satellite beacons, the INMARSAT Safety Manual on satellite safety communications, or a NAVTEX Guidelines Manual that isn’t the standard reference for message formatting in this context.
