Yesterday I was practicing using marks on the TAD after watching a couple of videos.

One thing not covered on them was un-marking. While trying to figure it out I wound up with over a dozen marks.

 

So the obvious question. How do you un-mark?

Thanks

You can't. Marks cannot be deleted, only re-used.

Thanks.

Can they be moved?

Say I use a couple for a mission, then return to re-arm/fuel.

Should I reset everything to start over or can they be re-located for the next mssion?

Markpoints are over-written as you set them.

 

Ie. if you set MP A, it will remain as is until you use up enough MPs to get back to A.

When you land for fuel and ammo, you can power off your CDU, when you re-start it and re-align your INS/NAV system your Markpoints will be gone.

 

Recommend re-using MP unless you know you need to come back to a certain spot later. i.e an important bridge, or AA cluster until they all are dead.

I think you can also change MP databases, but I haven't tried doing so myself.

Or just reload nav data in the CDU...

But then you're also deleting any waypoints or flightplans that were not originally included in the mission data.

I'll try a couple of those ideas.

I'm surprised they overlooked it. Sometimes you can accidentally click on the wrong area. Unassigning would be nice but we go to war with what we have. :joystick:

I don't think it's an overlook. I was told online by a pilot that they are stored/no 'delete/override button' so that the coordinates marked can be reviewed by 'upper management' post combat mission via air recon/satellite match of stored mark points/etc to evaluate where weapons were released for further enemy BDA/verify civilian casualties caused/worst case scenario friendly fire evaluation (God forbid).

 

This is what I was told. I'm not in the armed forces so I don't know if this is accurate, but makes sense if so...accountability check I guess.
