Distance measuring equipment (DME).

Distance measuring equipment (DME). A pulse-type electronic navigation system that shows the pilot, by an instrument-panel indication, the number of nautical miles between the aircraft and a ground station or waypoint.

Distance Measuring Equipment (DME)
DME allows a pilot to determine the airplane's distance from a point on the ground that has a DME station.

Distance Measuring Equipment: Equipment for measuring distance, usually from an aircraft to a ground station; usually part of a Tactical Air Navigation System.

Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) - A flight instrument that measures the line-of-sight distance of an aircraft from a navigational radio station in nautical miles.

Distance Measuring Equipment (DME): Electronic equipment used to measure, in nautical miles, the slant range of the aircraft from a navigation aid.

DISTANCE MEASURING EQUIPMENT (DME) - Equipment (ground and airborne) used to measure and report to the pilot the slant range distance, in nautical miles, of an aircraft from the DME navigational aid.
DL See DAYTIME AVERAGE SOUND LEVEL.

Distance measuring equipment (DME) does what its name implies: It allows pilots to measure their distance from a VOR station or other navigational aid.

DME: Distance Measuring Equipment.
Endurance Speed: The speed at which an aircraft's total drag is at a minimum and thus requires minimum thrust and fuel consumption to maintain level flight.
ETA: estimated time of arrival.

DME Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) is replacing markers in many installations.

DME "Distance Measuring Equipment." A radio navigation device that determines and aircraft's distance from a given ground station. It can also calculate groundspeed and time to/from the station.
Empennage The tail surfaces of an aircraft.

DME - distance measuring equipment. A combination of ground and airborne equipment which gives a continuous slant range distance from station readout by measuring time lapse of a signal transmitted by the aircraft to the station and responded ...

VORs and distance measuring equipment
A VOR only transmits a radial, a line if you will. But nothing to indicate where you are on that line. For this you can use a second VOR and where the lines intersect is your position.

- part of a VOR navigation system, which shows how far off a desired course the aircraft is DG Directional Gyro - a compass-like device which uses a gyroscope to provide stable directional information for a pilot DME Distance Measuring Equipment EFIS ...

Things like VORs and DMEs (distance measuring equipment) use timing differences between radio signals sent to transmitters and received from the transmitters to determine position and location to the transmitter.

DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) reading is some-times nautical miles, sometimes statute miles; there is no way for the pilot to discern the two. (Program the DME reading with one or the other, advise which, and be consistent.) ...
