TAD hooks, range/bearings, etc.

I have been trying to learn the TAD more effectively.

 

When I receive a position such as "Bullseye 038 for 32". How can I slew the TAD to that point with the BULLS reference to my cursor and not my present location? It seems the only way to get a reference for a point is to put something there, like a mark point.

 

A similar question would be... generally how do you reference the TAD cursor without making a mark point, so you can, say, pick a point and make it SPI?

 

The other thing that I'd like to do, which I'm not sure if it's possible... is have the cursor position in EXP1/2 mode to show it's position at the bottom, rather than my current location. This will allow me to slew the TAD cursor to coordinates provided by ground troops/downed pilots or JTAC coords (in lieu of data).

Hey,

 

I could write in length, but I would rather someone else do the talking ;)

Watch this video:

 

It should give you lots of answers (quite long, but worth watching in full).

Hope this helps!

You should select "BULLS/CURS" and then move the cursor to de desired bullseye reference... But sometimes is faster to create an offset on your CDU

Bull-Hook is what you want. Then slew to desired range and bearing simply by moving cursor. Once on point, TMS right short to place markpoint.

BULL-CURS was what I as looking for to pin point a bullseye reference.

 

As to coordinate based positions, I suppose the CDU is the best option.

 

Thanks, especially the video link :)
