There should be a co-located (and associated) DME if
there are no markers, and in can be used instead of the markers.



Only if you're equipped with DME or GPS.

At least here (Finland), an airplane needs a DME
(among other avionics) to be IFR airworthy.

Not here in the US.

Here in the US the main use of a DME is to get the CG a little further
forward.

The CG of my S-35 Bonanza (the potential for aft CG problems is a well-
known characteristic of this series) was actually improved -- moved forward
-- when the DME was removed. It was a King 700 series, with the heavy RT
unit located behind the aft luggage compartment bulkhead. Every ounce of
weight that can be moved forward in this airplane results in a little more
flexibility in loading.
