(The A-320 displays each ILS on the respective PFD and the other ILS on the ND.)...



If it is not possible to read the raw DME from IHZ while tuned to the IGX localizer, could the (1.7 nm) bias in the FMS distance to the RW05 waypoint make more difficult the use of the VDA altitude ribbon just above the profile view?
