Peter asked, "... does anyone actually do that [identify DME and VOR
together] , if they have an intercom which has separate DME/VOR ident
buttons, for navaids that have the same ident?"
Yes. I identify both at the same time and switch off whichever one I
hear first.
That's what everyone I fly with does. You never know where in the
sequence you'll come in, so you listen to both until you get an ident,
note it, and then turn it off so you don't hear it again. There usually
isn't time to be spending a lot of time doing this, because you usually
do it fairly late in the approach sequence. We can usually only tune the
final navaid after receiving vectors for final, so time becomes
important.
