NDM Approach

Featured Replies

When programming a route in the FMS I often see NDM approaches being listed under Approaches in the Arrivals for an airport. Sometimes also VDM is being listed. I couldn't find an explanation for NDM and VDM on the Internet. Can any of you shed some light on these kind of approaches for me, please?

Thanks,

Hans van Wijhe

Even though it does not follow standard naming convention, I believe the FMS uses those acronyms to mean the following:

NDM = NDB/DME

VDM = VOR/DME

I don't see what else it could mean when referring to an IFR approach.

You may very well be right, Normand. Thank you very much.
