Which DME fix is labeled as not an intersection?

Which DME fix is labeled as not an intersection?

• A. YAZOO (Not an Intersection)
• B. HEDUD
• C. RICKS
• D. ZAMMA

Answer: (A)

The idea is that intersections are points where radials from navigational aids cross. A DME fix can be defined solely by a distance from a VOR/DME, without needing two radials to cross, so it isn’t an intersection. YAZOO is labeled Not an Intersection, meaning it’s defined by DME distance rather than by crossing radials. The other fixes are defined by the crossing of radials, so they are intersections.
