When DME hold is selected, what is displayed/removed from view on the PFD?

• A. A green NM indication remains and the VOR identifier is shown
• B. An amber H replaces the green NM indication and the VOR identifier is removed
• C. The DME readout disappears from the bottom of the PFD
• D. The DME hold symbol appears next to the altitude tape

Answer: (B)

Engaging DME hold changes how the PFD shows navigation cues. The normal green NM indicator, which signals active navigation mode, is replaced by an amber H to clearly signal that a hold is active. At the same time, the VOR identifier is removed to reduce clutter because the hold operation is driven by DME distance rather than a specific VOR signal. The amber hold symbol serves as a clear, immediate cue that you’re in a hold state, helping you focus on distance and timing rather than VOR identifiers.
