An instructor once asked me to plan a radio nav route for IMCR training. Just to make a change from VORs and NDBs I put in something like 30 miles' worth of a DME arc. Instructor seemed to think this was a moderately silly plan for that particular route, but he let me fly it and gave me some tips as we were doing so.
