DME override

On the 747-200s I used to fly, the DME would normally only search out to 200 miles, but would search out to 385 miles in OVRD. This extra distance is handy at high altitude on oceanic crossings with few navaids, but could be confusing in busy areas with lots of navaids e.g. western europe.
