JTAC and CDU question

[ex81]

Hi,

I would like to use the JTAC coordinates (GGxxxxxx) to set a new waypoint using the CDU.

Does anybody know of a good tutorial on YouTube ?

Or maybe one of the experts likes typing and is willing to publish a helpful reply here:helpsmilie:

The easiest way to do it is drop a random mark point on the map (Lctrl + Left arrow key IIRC).

 

Then switch to Mark point mode on the CDU and go to edit current selected steerpoint - it will be the mark point you just created. Edit this markpoint with the co-ordinates your JTAC gives you.

 

EDIT; the main man Bunyap has done a video doing exactly what you've asked -

Thanks to al531246 and Yurgon.

Pretty much to watch and hopefully not too much to learn :)

 

Wird wohl ein langer Bildschirmabend.

Steps

 

I am listing the steps in the videos. Hope this helps and is not too complicated.

 

Make sure the STEERPOINT / WAYPOINT Page is selected in the CDU.

 

1> Press the 3rd button from top on right-side "?<num>" to create a new steerpoint.

 

2> Enter new steerpoint name in the scratchpad.

 

3> Press top button right-side "name[]" to enter steerpoint name in CDU.

 

4> Press 4th button from top on right-side "L/L" to switch to "UTM".

 

(If required to switch between 38T or 37T)

 

Enter 38T or 37T in the scratchpad.

 

Press 3rd button from top on left-side to switch between 38T or 37T.

 

5> Enter UTM co-ordinates in the scratchpad.

 

6> Press 4th button from top on left-side to enter the UTM co-ordinates in CDU.

 

7> Turn the Steerpoint knob(just below the CDU) to Mission.

 

8> Select the new steerpoint from the Steerpoint Rocker on the left-side below the HUD.

 

Now you can slave all your sensors to the new Steerpoint.

 

:)
