Flying A Dme Arc Approach - Garmin GPS 500 Pilot's Manual & Reference

Flying a DME Arc Approach

The GPS overlay for a DME arc approach uses additional Jeppesen-provided waypoints to define the
arc. These waypoints are indicated by "D" as the first letter in the waypoint name. This is followed by
three numbers indicating the radial the waypoint lies on. The last letter indicates the radius of the arc.

NOTE: As this manual was being written, the letter/number DME arc names were being
replaced with standard five-letter intersection names. You may encounter either naming conven-
tion for an approach you select.
