Lee1 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Hi Guys, I have a problem with Tacan Navigation. Returning to Batumi above a cloud layer I thought I'd try the Tacan instead of looking at the F10 map and getting a course to steer. Tuning Channel 16X, heading towards Batumi the range is increasing and not decreasing as I would expect. The pointer on the HSI doesnt sem to be pointing to Batumi either. Is it some sort of finger trouble on my part or is the Batumi tacan not 16X as it states on the info panel in the F10 map. Any help greatly appreciated. TIA Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Batumi is 16X. But if you see the distance and needles are off, then you are either in the wrong mode or tuned to something different. Did you change to TCN mode on your EHSI or were you still in NAV mode looking at steerpoints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skywalker22 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Tacan in TR mode works (for ground radars), whats not norking is TR A/A - for air refuling. So check the HSI insteument that you did set to TCN mode as @razo+rexplained as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
