Question 1 of 27070

The majority of airborne Distance Measuring Equipment systems automatically tune their transmitter and receiver frequencies to the paired __ / __ channel.

🔍 Key Concepts

• DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) is electronically paired with another navigation aid so that tuning one also tunes the other • How VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range), localizer (LOC), marker beacon, and glideslope each work in an ILS/VOR system • Which component(s) in an ILS system normally carry the frequency that the pilot actually selects on the nav radio

💭 Think About

• When a pilot wants DME information, which nav aid frequency do they usually select on the control head? Think about what you actually tune in practice. • In a standard ILS approach, which two components operate together as a pair, and which of those is usually used for distance information? • Look at which components share standardized paired frequencies in aviation: which two are designed to be automatically linked for range information?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which of the four listed systems (VOR, LOC, marker beacon, glideslope) is normally associated with giving distance information on your instruments. • Confirm which system’s frequency band is used for paired-channel operation with DME in typical avionics installations. • Eliminate any pair where neither element normally provides the frequency you manually tune to get DME readouts.
