Re: Cleared to a DME fix How do I get there? No DME

I know how to find the location using paper, but I don't think that is allowed or wise for IFR. From what I understand, if it is not charted then it is not tested for accuracy.

Thanks. That is what I was thinking but just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something.

Where are you guys getting those intersecting radials and bearings? I do not see them published anywhere. Don't you need to use established airways to ID fixes?

Cleared to a DME fix How do I get there? No DME

I am flying a /U aircraft. My IFR clearance out of the ATL area is using SOONE as my first fix. SOONE is identified as ATL 166deg/ 35 nm. But how do I get there with out DME on board. Sure radar vectors. But what if I lose coms?

Thanks
