DESKE is the DME fix located at which code?

• A. Glh 143048
• B. Hez 044025
• C. Mhz 350016
• D. Mlu 087031

Answer: (A)

DESKE is defined as a DME fix that comes from a specific VOR/DME, using the DME distance to locate the point. On charts, DME fixes are identified by the VOR/DME station and the DME reading from that station. DESKE is associated with the GLH VOR/DME at a DME distance of about 14.3 NM, which is encoded as GLH 143048. This pairing uniquely locates DESKE, so it’s the correct designation. Other codes would tie DESKE to different VOR/DME stations or different DME distances, which wouldn’t place the fix at DESKE’s established position.
