Use of distance-measuring equipment (DME) allows accurate placement of aircraft within 150 mi range of Tactical Air Navigation System stations; this method of aircraft placement is particularly applicable to remote sensing, which frequently is done at night or through cloud cover; it is also useful for aerial photography where flight paths can be circular arcs having large radius; navigational precision made possible by such flight paths makes this, in many cases, most efficient way to plan and execute flight.
