Urgent question:

Recently I added support for adjusting the DME readout based on an optional per transmitter bias that is part of Robin's nav data. For ILS approaches the DME transmitter could be at the opposite end of the runway, but transmitting a bias or "constant value" to subtract off the real value so it reads 0.00 at the touch down point.

My question is, in real life, what happens to the dme readout when you get inside of the bias range. For instance if the bias is 2.0 nm and you are 0.8 nm from the transmitter, naive math would tell the DME to display -1.2 nm. What does the DME really display in these situations? Is it clamped to 0.0? Something else?

Thanks,

Curt.
