Navigating
to a DME
The Apollo GX may be used to help guide you to
near the start of an ILS approach by using the
location of a DME as a destination waypoint. The
waypoint type is labeled “LOC-DME,” which stands
for the Localizer-DME pair. Be careful when using
this waypoint as the Localizer location and the DME
location are often in separate locations. Your Apollo
GX will use the DME location as the waypoint. Do
NOT use the DME location as the start of the
approach.
You may use the DME waypoint as a guide to the
start of your approach and as a distance reference
point for a step-down approach.
