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.

1.Press DIRECT-TO. The Waypoint Type will flash. Turn the SMALL knob to select the “LOC-DME” waypoint type.

2.Turn the LARGE knob clockwise one click. The first character of the LOC-DME Waypoint Name will flash. Turn the SMALL knob to select the desired character.

3.Repeat step 2 until you have selected the LOC-DME. Press ENTER to navigate Direct-To the selected waypoint.

4.Navigate to the DME waypoint according to Bearing and Distance.

5.After reaching the waypoint, follow the directions of the appropriate approach plate for navigation.
