Hi

 

Destination airport is equipped with ILS cat 1 and DME. Is there a way getting DME information when flying visual approach? When ILS approach is not chosen in FMC.

Set ILS frequency and look onto DME indications.

I'm not sure, but I think it would be called raw data approach rather then visual.

I've always heard "visual".

I think it would be a visual, backed up with an ILS.

As paul said, you would call it a visual approach with the ILS backing you up. Most approaches allow for you to use GPS in leu of DME.

Just tune the ILS frequency manually and you'll get DME info on the ND if you enable the pointer. (assuming you're talking about the NGX here)

I've always wondered what that actually means as I see it on the AU approach charts all the time.

I've noticed that the NGX shows the DME on both the ND lower left/right corner and PFD, however in the aircrafts i fly (738) If i tune an ILS i only get the DME on my PFD, DME on the ND remains dashed. And if i tune a VOR i get the DME only on the ND.

Is this a company option from boeing?

 

Yes that's exacly what i'm talking about. That's how it looks like in the plane. But in the NGX you would see DME 0,2 in this case below VOR 1

You are confusing DME from the VOR/DME receiver and DME from the ILS receiver. Different aerials, different radios, though some systems are multiplexed so the same radios are used for different sources (e.g. one DME receiver used for both DME and ILS functions).

 

Many aircraft display the ILS DME data in a different location to the DME stations. The B757/767 is one exception with EFIS that I know of however where the ILS data is diuspkayed in the position of DME1, however the presentation is different as it is prefixed L for Landing System (e.g. instead of 12.0 it reads L12.0 for ILS DME).

 

Best regards,

No, Iccccie is right, when the localizer is tuned on Nav 1, the left ND VOR1 station and dme are dashed, and the localizer station and dme are only displayed on the PFD upper left corner, the same happens on the right side. look at the picture below. Cannot upload a NGX picture right now, but i'm sure it shows the localizer dme on the nd.

Re-read what I posted. I think you mis-understood. I agree that the ILS DME is in a different place to the other DMEs.

 

Best regards,

Not to be a wannabe mod, but because I'd prefer not to have anyone around here get hit with the BanHammer, you should read this:

Airliners.net has a very active team of web mods who find what has migrated where, and I'm sure they pester AVSIM all the time.
