DME

Question 1

(Refer to figure 192.) As a guide in making range corrections, how many degrees of relative bearing change should be used for each on half mile deviation from the desired arc?

Answer 1

10* to 20*.

Question 2

With regard to slant range error, approximately how far from the DME facility can you be to consider the DME reading usable?

Answer 2

One or more miles for each 1,000 feet of altitude above the facility.

Question 3

Which distance is displayed by the DME indicator?

Answer 3

Slant range distance in NM.

DME: Slant NM
Slant No Men

Question 4

When a VOR/DME is collocated under frequency pairings and the VOR portion is inoperative, the DME identifier will repeat at an interval of

Answer 4

30 second intervals at 1350 Hz.

Question 5

When installed with the ILS and specified in the approach procedures, DME may be used

Answer 5

in lieu of the OM.

Question 6

(Refer to figure 240.) How should a pilot determine when the DME at Price/Carbon County Airport is inoperative?

Answer 6

The airborne DME may appear normal, but there will be no code tone.

DME; Price/Carbon Inoperative: No Code Tone

Question 7

(Refer to figures 182 an 48.) What is your position relative to the 9 DME ARC and the 206* radial of the instrument departure procedure?

Answer 7

On the 9 DME arc and approaching R 206.

9 DME ARC: ON the 9 DME arc

Question 8

(Refer to figure 159.) You are approaching FIMGA. ATC has cleared you to FIMGA, and the 14 DME arc for the ILS RWY 3 approach at DRO. You should

Answer 8

proceed direct to FIMGA, fly the arc and complete the approach.
