ILS/DME

Hi chaps,

If you read my profile you'll see I'm now a sim instructor. Specialising in Procedural IF, one of my standard scenarios is to fail the DME so that crews have practice in the "No DME" procedures, where these are provided. This question is to maximise the authenticity of such exercises.

I know from my local air traffickers that when the ILS fails here, the DME fails with it. I suspect, but do not know for a fact, that this is not the case everywhere. I suspect it varies with the type of equipment.

Can I have a few responses indicating whether your local ILS DME wil continue to respond, after the LLZ and GP elements have failed / been switched off?
