Hi Christos,Here's the best general explanation I know of. Hope you find it useful too. I found it great for perfecting the arrival into AKTION near you - or NICE COTE D'AZUR ...http://www.meretrix.com/~harry/flying/notes/dmearc.htmlBest wishes,David

If you want an example of a DME arc that can be flown in an MD 11 take a look at KMSO ILS RWY 11 (Y) or (Z). It will be a series of short straight lines with each line having a slight heading change. Also I believe you can create your own DME arc if you look in the FMS manual. It shows how to do distance waypoints from a navaid. Hope this helps.Don
