TACAN

[dresoccer4]

'ello. was wondering if the TACAN wasn't working or if i'm doing it wrong. can't seem to get it to work. i put in the frequency, select enter, then select on/off. it shows up for a minute or so on the left side of the cockpit, then all of those lights go out. no range or direction shows up.

 

thanks!

The upper left screens (Option Display Unit / ODU) with buttons are meant to go out after a specific time when not used.

 

For me the Tacan is working fine.

 

Press tcn

Dial up number

Change x or y on ODU

Press t/r on ODU

Press on

 

The Tacan will be now showing in the navigation page (EHSD) .

 

The section in the pocket guide (pg 50) is better at explaining it all in full.

thanks for reply. i'll give it a try again.

any guess why the lights go out?

[noisy_lightning]

It's meant to. I guess to ensure quicker selection or accidently selection for the next change a while later?

No need for ent or Sav. At least not when I am doing it. Entering code then on is good enough and quicker.

Make sure the field you're flying to actually has TACAN and not RBSN.

What's the Tarawa's Tacan frequency, I can't find where to set it in the ME

Tarawa still does not have TACAN.
