How do I remove a JTAC red triangle from the TAD?

[toby23]

When you receive incoming target data from JTAC, a red triangle flashes on the TAD which you can hook.

 

During a longer sortie, the TAD screen can easily have three or more red triangles visible and the next time that you receive a target area from JTAC, it's very hard to remember which ones you have cleared and which is the new one because they all flash when receiving new data.

 

Q. Is there a way to remove the red triangles from the TAD?

 

I know how to unhook a target but I can't figure out how to remove the red triangles.

 

Thanks.

Hook Target Assignment and clear with OSB07 (CNC).

Thx Viper.

Will try later.

By the way, '"CNC" means "cannot comply", so it makes sense that it clears the tasking.

Yeah and thats still available to click at any time, it doesnt make any difference if youve finished the target objective or not, you can click cant comply whenever.

Actually, CNC means CaNCel...as in cancelling the hooked data.

 

While CNTCO means Can NoT COmply as in to the tasking message instead of clicking the WILCO (WILl COmply) OSB.

 

Just to be completely clear.:)

Thanks for the clarification — I can't believe I've never noticed that.

 

I don't think I've refused a tasking before so I've never pressed anything other than WILCO, and have thus had no reason to look at OSB 7 until after I've already accepted. By then of course it will say "CNC" (as long as you have the object hooked), so I've always assumed it stood for "cannot comply".

 

Clearly the character limit for OSB 7 is not limited to 3, so I think the avionics engineers should change "CNC" to "CNCL" or even "CANCL". That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

No prob,

 

I happen to be in the middle of testing some JTAC stuff and had plenty of opportunities to grab the shots. There is lots to know and lots to be confused about.;)
