Which of following combinations likely to result in most accurate area navigation rnav fixes Does not have to be in range when entered but must be when used. Dme dme (rho rho) navigation uses distance from two sources position information rho rho navigation quite a bit more complicated than either theta theta (vor vor) or theta rho (vor dme) requires an onboard computer to do all but easiest calculations however it very accurate much more than any system that uses theta (vor) simple reason that dme so much more accurate than any other azimuth based navigation system .
