DME *can* be used in the published missed, but does not have to be. There are other ways to identify the missed approach fix. The missed approach instructions are: > MISSED APPROACH: Climb to 1500 then climbing right turn to 3500 on ATL VORTAC R-005 to TROYS INT/ATL 15 DME and hold. [![enter image description here][1]][1] The missed approach procedure calls for a hold at the TROYS intersection. This can be identified by one of three means: 1. The intersection of the ATL R-005 and RMG R-115, 2. By 15 DME on the ATL R-005, or 3. By RNAV from a database. These multiple methods of identification mean that DME is not required. If an RNAV or dual VOR receivers are used, DME is not needed. [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/vnT0S.png
