Type aircraft, L1011.
Yes, it can reliably fly a DME arc provided it is in the FMS or GPS database or, if it is not, it can be manually inserted by the pilots (with a fair amount of button-pushing).

Once on the localizer, it can then fly the nicest autoland you ever did see, bar none.

Lockheed TriStar, simply the best.
Still a few around, and I still fly one.....ahhhh, Lockheed!
