Here in the US the main use of a DME is to get the CG a little further
forward. Jim At least here (Finland), an airplane needs a DME (among other avionics) to be IFR airworthy. |

@corp.supernews.com: 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. |
