Which VORTAC is represented by the code CME?

• A. Chisum
• B. Cedar Creek
• C. Cincinnati
• D. Chicago

Answer: (A)

The code CME represents the VORTAC located in Chisum, Texas. VORTACs are navigational aids that combine both VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range) and TACAN (Tactical Air Navigation) functionalities, providing both civilian and military pilots with precise navigational information. Each VORTAC is assigned a distinct identifier, which is usually a combination of three letters.

In this case, CME uniquely identifies the VORTAC at Chisum. The other choices provided, while they may contain similar letters at times, do not correspond to the specific VORTAC that is recognized by the code CME. Understanding the specific codes and their geographical correlations is essential for pilots and air traffic controllers, as it assists in navigation and communication within the aviation system.
