What is Understanding Distance Measuring Equipment about?
DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) measures the distance of an aircraft from a ground station by timing how long it takes a radio signal to travel between the two. It works by the aircraft transmitting interrogations signals that trigger reply signals from the ground station. DME receivers in the aircraft then measure the round-trip time to calculate the distance, displaying it for pilots. DME provides accurate and continuous distance measurements to aid navigation.
