Good Afternoon Peter,
May I ask whether or not you will have an IFR approved GPS in the RV?
If so, why not forget about installing the DME? The GPS can be used as a substitute for ANY DME function. Saves time, money, and weight!
Happy Skies,
Old Bob

Hello Bob,
Yes I will have an IFR GPS, and no, the DME isn’t optional. In Europe enough approaches have DMEs where the range is ‘slugged’ to read zero at the threshold that trying to use GPS will get you in trouble. Sadly Eurocontrol do not have the same opinion on the substitution of DME with GPS as the FAA. Its bad enough for an amateur pilot to fly the approach accurately without having to figure out the actual range!!
Regards, Peter
