1.4.17. TACAN page
A new MFD page has been implemented in 4.34 for aircraft with an IFF panel on the left console
instead of an AUX COMM panel. The TCN MFD page is the only way to manage the TACAN in
BACKUP mode in these aircraft.
This page manages TACAN in BUP mode only; the T-ILS UFC page is still the primary way to edit
TACAN settings.
Aircraft with an AUX COMM panel on the left console still use that to change TACAN settings in BUP
and do not have this MFD page available.
BUP TACAN operations are managed with OSB #6 to #10.
•
OSB #6 toggles AA T/R and T/R.
•
OSB #7 increases by 1 the channel displayed next
to OSB #8.
•
OSB #8 opens an MFD page where the TACAN
channel may be entered manually to avoid
scrolling all the way to the relevant channel.
•
OSB #9 decreases by 1 the channel displayed
next to OSB #8.
•
OSB #10 toggles X and Y band.
If increasing or decreasing the channels require too many
button presses, just press OSB #8 and enter the correct
channel with the OSB button in the scratchpad.
Confirm your entry with OSB #2 ENTR.
It is recommended to set up backup TCN to your home
airbase during ramp start in case you take damage and
have to switch to BUP with no functioning MFDs, as you
might not be able to change TACAN settings in case of
MFD failure.
