Advice Please - Could not de-select PHS from front seat TADS - Bug or user issue?

Salute

With many, many hours flying this great bird from the back seat, just recently I have been re-visiting really getting to grips with killing stuff from the front seat.

I had an issue last night where by I had managed to slave the front tads to the PHS (which was "George"). No matter what I tried I could not get it back so that I had manual control of the camera and targeting.

I tried all the AQS options but could not get can control (which was REALLY frustrating as, after a long sneaky flight through mountain valleys I had arrived at the perfect spot overlooking a SAM site undetected - in the end I had to result to going back to the back seat and getting George in the front seat to do all the work!)

Can anyone advise please what I should have done to regain control of the TADS?

Many thanks

Friar

Was you using FLIR? If the back seat is using TADS for FLIR you as a front seater need to select TADS (on the Collective) for yourself in the front seat to regain control

Also, check you hadn't set NVS Mode to Fixed

Thanks for the reply. I do recall playing around with that switch having forgotten to set it BEFORE I went into the front seat.
