A320 RMP tuning
Hi,
Got a question concerning manual tuning of RMP on the A320.
If RMP 1 is tuned to an ILS (controls also RMP 2 ILS), can RMP 2 be tuned to a VOR (i.e. to get a DME reading?

DSC-34-30-10 P 1/4
BACK UP TUNING
The CAPT RMP controls VOR 1 and ADF 1.
The F/O RMP controls VOR 2 and ADF 2.
Either RMP controls both ILSs.
DSC-34-30-20 P 1/2
DME
The aircraft has two DMEs.
The frequency that is automatically set on the DME corresponds to the one that is set on the VOR or ILS.
DSC-34-30-30 P 3/6
When the flight crew uses an RMP to turn an ILS/DME, the PFDs do not display the DME distance.
So we can set ILS on RMP 1 and VOR 2 on RMP 2. We will get VOR DME.
