199 NM slant range, at line of sight altitude.
On an ILS approach, when may the DME be substituted for the Outer Marker?
Only when specified in the procedure.
True or False? Straight-in Minimums may be published when the LDA is not aligned with the runway if the alignment does not exceed 30 degrees between the course and the runway.
True. And Circling minimums only are published where the alignment exceeds 30 degrees.

All of the answers are correct.
