Tacan Offset / LHA approach

[Draken35]

I was reading in the new manual (ch1-ch15) that the Tacan Offset can be used for LHA approaches but it doesn't says how and I can't think of a way. Does anybody knows?

(Yes, I know how to use vanilla Tacan , without offset, to get in the boat)

With Tacan boxed you can set up an offset by clicking TO/S on the right hand side of the MPCD EHSD. 

Then on the UFC enter a BRG - bearing in degrees

Then a range in nautical Miles. 

You will now have a TACAN offset set up, it should a appear like a tacan beacon symbol on the EHSD with a few bits missing at the "points". 

(sorry if you already knew that bit, just trying to be helpful)

If you were doing a CASE 2/3 you could set up your radial relative to the ship using the TACAN offset. 

You could use it for marking the initial for an overhead break. 

For marking 7DME or whatever after take off. 

A radial to fly away from the boat in CASE 2/3 launches.

Ah! I was thinking on terms on CASE 1's  approaches ...I don't have much experiences with case 2 or 3 but I'll look into it.

Thanks!

No worries. I know it but others might not.
