This is a tutorial explaining how to fly a DME arc. It's very simple after a few tries, and I find it very interesting too. So hope you like it, and if you ever have any questions, misunderstandings or critics, don't hesitate to tell me!

Since when did the747-200 have a FMC

@jchang133 I couldn't say since when, but most 747-200 cockpits were upgraded with an FMC when the INS systems were out dated.

whats the diffrence between an NDB and a DME and can u please explain them to me and tell me how to use it?????

[marko071988]

@MegaAmarchana123 They are two very difference things. An NDB is a non directional beacon, so it's a beacon as the name suggests it, which basically tells the plane how to get to it. A DME is a distance measurement equipment, it tells the plane how far you are from it. Watch my vids on NDB and VOR approaches, you'll get a better idea of what it all is!

you dont NEED an RMI to do a dme arc, that is the easier (and preferred) method. What about the good old fashioned turn 10, twist 10?

@RandySRT What's that?

@natofsx8 O ok thanks ma friend :)

@Seal552 for sure mate,i fly on vatsim,so it's required charts onboard for any flight.

For Germany,you must see VAAC-GER.

@natofsx8 thanks but are there any websites where you can get an approach map for like German airports or something.
