UBABY is the DME fix located at which code?

• A. Hez 044025
• B. Sqs 023023
• C. Glh 143048
• D. Mhz 350016

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how a DME fix is defined using a VOR/DME facility and a radial with a distance. A DME fix like UBABY is specified by the VOR/DME identifier and the radial plus distance from that VOR. The notation Sqs 023023 encodes that UBABY lies on the VOR with the ident SQS, at 23 nautical miles from that VOR along the 023-degree radial. In other words, you would be 23 NM out on the 023 radial from the SQS VOR to reach UBABY. The other options would place the fix at different radials or different facilities, so they don’t match UBABY.
