PANS-AIM requires for the DME an elevation to be coded. The DME.location will be coded with the ElevatedPoint.elevation attribute.

Has also the ElevatedPoint.elevation for the Navaid.location be coded? |
Depending on the type of DME, different accuracy is required. In AIXM, the ElevatedPoint.verticalAccuracy attribute is provided for that purpose (according to PANS-AIM Appendix 1, Table A1-5, for DME.type equal-to 'PRECISION' 3m accuracy is required; for all other types it is 30m (100ft)).

A change proposal (AIXM-543) for the next AIXM 5.2 version has been approved by the AIXM Change Control Board, where the DME ghostFrequency attribute is tuningFrequencyVHF. The coding guidelines provided here are aligned with forward/backward conversion rules contained in the AIXM-543 Change Proposal. |
Navaid Collocation
A DME may be co-located with one and only one VOR or NDB. In this case the corresponding Navaid feature will reference the DME as navaidEquipment.

The geographical distance between the DME.location and the VOR.location which are used to compose the same Navaid must be:
a) less than 30 metres if the VOR is located at an aerodrome/heliport (connected through Navaid.servedAirport) and has VOR.type equal-to 'DVOR';
b) less than 80 metres if the VOR is located at an aerodrome/heliport (connected through Navaid.servedAirport) and has VOR.type equal-to 'DVOR';
c) less than 600 metres if the VOR is not located at an aerodrome/heliport (not through Navaid.servedAirport).
