Cockpit flyoff?

Beachnut,
I stopped reading much of your reply as its clear that the last time you flew is analogous with your avatar.... and for that time frame... im sure you're correct. It is another reason why you refuse to debate younger, sharper pilots who are current.
Beachnut, your .23 DME error within 1.5 NM of the VOR is absurd. The fact you refuse to contact the NTSB with your claims that their data is litered with errors and instead spend your days and nights online trying to prove your case through convoluted, incoherent posts which even conflict with your cohorts, speaks volumes.
But hey, i'll buy you a beer anytime ol' timer..
Regards,
Rob

0.23 NM is only 1380 feet, you do not use the DME to flare on the ILS!
b. Operating on the line-of-sight principle, DME furnishes distance information with a very high degree of accuracy. Reliable signals may be received at distances up to 199 NM at line-of-sight altitude with an accuracy of better than 1/2 mile or 3 percent of the distance, whichever is greater. Distance information received from DME equipment is SLANT RANGE distance and not actual horizontal distance.

f. VOR/DME, VORTAC, ILS/DME, and LOC/DME facilities are identified by synchronized identifications which are transmitted on a time share basis. The VOR or localizer portion of the facility is identified by a coded tone modulated at 1020 Hz or a combination of code and voice. The TACAN or DME is identified by a coded tone modulated at 1350 Hz. The DME or TACAN coded identification is transmitted one time for each three or four times that the VOR or localizer coded identification is transmitted. When either the VOR or the DME is inoperative, it is important to recognize which identifier is retained for the operative facility. A single coded identification with a repetition interval of approximately 30 seconds indicates that the DME is operative.

The actual track, over the ground, cannot be determinied EXACTLY....except at the impact point.
What led up to that, is subject to the interpretation that started this thread!!!
It happened! Disregard the Flight Recorder data all you want....or 'skew' it to your needs!
I'm guessing, you don't live here in the DC area? AND, you didn't live here in the DC area on that day?
Well, I do, and I was here...HERE!...on that day.
So, put that in your pipe.
