The Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) measures the distance from the aircraft to the DME ground station. This is referred to as:
  • DME bearing.
  • Correct Answer
    The slant range.
  • Glide Slope angle of approach.
  • Localizer course width.

The Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) ground station has a built-in delay between reception of an interrogation and transmission of the reply to allow:
  • Someone to answer the call.
  • The VOR to make a mechanical hook-up.
  • Correct Answer
    Operation at close range.
  • Clear other traffic for a reply.

What is the main underlying operating principle of an aircraft’s Distance Measuring Equipment (DME)?
  • Correct Answer
    A measurable amount of time is required to send and receive a radio signal through the Earth’s atmosphere.
  • The difference between the peak values of two DC voltages may be used to determine an aircraft’s distance to another aircraft.
  • A measurable frequency compression of an AC signal may be used to determine an aircraft’s altitude above the earth.
  • A phase inversion between two AC voltages may be used to determine an aircraft’s distance to the exit ramp of an airport’s runway.
