Navigation
A DME station can only service a limited number of users at a time.
DME measures the
oblique distance from the
aircraft down to the
beacon in NM.
If you pass directly over, you will get your altitude in NM.
Try your skills with different navigation systems on this simulator, where you can
choose many different settings yourself (may take some time to open).
