Hello,
is it true that in some parts of the world, DME shows the distance to the touchdown point, and not the distance to the localizer at the far end of the runway?
How is this achieved - do they co-locate DME with the glidepath transmitter instead of the localizer, or do they somehow manipulate the DME transmitter to show a shorter distance?
How do you (as a pilot) find out whether a specific ILS DME shows the distance to the localizer, or to the touchdown point?
Thanks
