February 11, 200917 yr Hi,I'm looking for airports which have a DME Arc approach. I installed the Bendix King Ki229 RMI from RealityXP Flight Line N . I've been practicing the VOR/DME Rwy 17 approach at Augusta State in Maine (KAUG) and the RMI is a great helpI'd like to try it with other approaches.Thanks,Jack
February 11, 200917 yr Commercial Member Hi,From memory here are a few.... Rwy 29 VIDP DelhiILS RWY 14 PANC AnchorageTNCM Rwy 09 Princess JulianaThere are loads out there. I use the Payware Navigraph charts, would never fly without them.Rob Rob Prest
February 11, 200917 yr JackKRHI - Rhinelander, KAUW - Wausau, KLSE - LaCrosse, KJVL - Janesville, KHYR - Hayward, KFLD - Fond Du Lac, & KEAU - Eau Claire are a few I can remember in WI. I like to practice those too. Roman FS RTWR SHRS F-111 JoinFS Little Navmap
February 11, 200917 yr Can't remember the specific Approach or anything, but I think there's one for Honolulu.
February 11, 200917 yr Jack,The airport at which I did most of my instrument training has DME arcs for VOR/DME rwys 4, 22, and 32. Very uncomplicated, take you from the airway to the intermediate segment at constant altitude:http://edj.net/cgi-bin/echoplate.pl?southc...al/MLU_vdr4.gifhttp://edj.net/cgi-bin/echoplate.pl?southc...l/MLU_vdr22.gifhttp://edj.net/cgi-bin/echoplate.pl?southc...l/MLU_vdr32.gifMy home airport of KGGG has arcs from both directions on the VOR/DME or TACAN R31 approach. Not quite as tame as MLU, you get lead radials:http://edj.net/cgi-bin/echoplate.pl?southc...GGG_vd_tr31.gifSt. George, UTAH (KSGU) VOR/DME R34 has a complicated DME arc w/ lead radials and multiple descent points, on the arc and after. That bad boy was used on my most recent instrument competency check. :( Of course, it will be easier for you, since you won't have to deal with one engine on fire and a non-functioning autopilot!http://edj.net/cgi-bin/echoplate.pl?southwest/SGU_vdr34.gifBTW, if you like the EchoPlate charts, consider a donation. Most folks don't. Dunno how long he'll keep doing it with less than a third of his bandwidth cost being covered...
February 12, 200917 yr I'm looking for airports which have a DME Arc approach.You'll find every instrument approach in the U.S. at the NOAA site....http://myairplane.com/databases/approach/index.phpYou can't search for a specific type of approach (as far as I know), but you can just start going through the list of airports and you'll soon be up to your arse in DME approaches or any other kind of approach you'd care to try. :(
February 12, 200917 yr KWVI has the most interesting DME arc I have flown. I am not sure if there are any other DME arc approaches with a turn like this one. Dr Zane Gard Sr Staff Reviewer AVSIM Private Pilot ASEL since 1986 IFR 2010 AOPA 00915027 American Mensa 100314888
February 12, 200917 yr Author Thanks Guys for providing some interesting approaches. I also found doing a Google search for DME Arcs provided a wealth of data.Fly high.Jack
February 13, 200917 yr This is a great site for learning instrument navigation and approaches....http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/
