Which DME fix is located at MHZ 164038?

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

Answer: (A)

DME fixes are five-letter waypoints defined by a distance from a VOR/DME. Each DME facility has its own frequency, and the published chart shows which fix corresponds to the DME distance from that facility. At the frequency 164.038 MHz, the DME readout aligns with the fix named RICKS. In other words, when you’re tuned to the VOR/DME that uses 164.038 MHz and you reach the corresponding DME distance, the chart identifies that point as RICKS. The other names correspond to different DME distances or other facilities, so they wouldn’t be located at this specific DME frequency.
