Which DME fix is located at MHZ 335030?

• A. HEDUD
• B. YAZOO
• C. RICKS
• D. ZAMMA

Answer: (B)

In DME navigation, a fix is defined by a distance from a VOR/DME facility along a published radial, and the chart will list the four-letter fix name that corresponds to that DME readout. The DME frequency (the MHZ value) ties you to a specific DME unit, and the official fix directory shows which fix name sits at that exact DME distance. For MHZ 335030, the chart’s DME fix directory identifies YAZOO as the fix at that DME readout. The other names correspond to different distances or facilities, so they wouldn’t be the fix you’re at when the DME reads 335030. So YAZOO is the correct DME fix for that frequency. If you want to confirm, cross-check the DME fix directory in your chart or nav database for the facility paired with MHZ 335030.
