SKYNAV DME is ground-based transponder system that provides accurate slant range measurements to pilots by responding to the aircraft’s interrogations. A consistent design with the SKYNAV ILS, it offers the same unique advantages and uses the same remote control tools for a seamless interoperability.
Offered in different flavors to comply with the application needs:
Approach – low power 100 Watts for collocation with ILS.
EnRoute – high power 1000 Watts for collocation with CVOR and DVOR
StandAlone – for DME/DME network.
SKYNAV Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) is a state-of-the-art system which is fully compliant to ICAO Annex 10. It can be in operation on its own or co-located with other Navaids such as ILS, MLS, CVOR and DVOR.
Suitable to be used for DME/DME networks under RNAV procedures as is defined in the EUROCONTROL Guidelines for P-RNAV Infrastructure Assessment (EUROCONTROL-GUID-114 Edition 1.2).
The SKYNAV DME provides enhanced performance with outstanding efficiency, cost effective solution as well as simplified maintenance and lower life cycle costs
