Which DME fix is located at MLU 087031?

Which DME fix is located at MLU 087031?

• A. Deske
• B. Dinky (Used in Nonradar)
• C. Ubaby (Not an Intersection)
• D. Barne

Answer: (B)

DME fixes are navigational points defined by a VOR/DME, a specific radial, and a DME distance. In nonradar procedures, these points are given five-letter names. The code MLU 087031 means the DME fix at the Monroe VOR/DME on the 087-degree radial at 3.1 nautical miles from the station. The name assigned to that exact location for navigation is Dinky, and it’s specifically used for nonradar procedures. That makes it the correct choice. The other names correspond to different fixes or aren’t located at that DME reading, so they don’t fit this location.
