Badong Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) Hi, is it possible for other aircrafts to track my position using TACAN, like they would do for a tanker ? If yes, what do I need to do to be seen by them and what do they need to do to see me ? Thanks for helping ^^ PS : we're all using M2000Cs Edited April 29, 2017 by Badong Forgot to mention we're using M2000Cs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashO Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) Distance, yes. Bearing. No. Just set up a 63 channel difference between you and the 2nd aircraft. So if you are at A/A mode 71X. The other aircraft should be at 71-63=08X. If the other aircraft is at 12Y, you should be at 12+63= 75Y, *you can pick whatever you like, as long a the difference between your and the other aircrafts tacan channel is 63. And both of you are in A/A mode (you select mode at the bottem-right frequency dial for the tacan channel). But, the only thing you will be able to track is the distance between eachother. Not the direction. Edited April 29, 2017 by CrashO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
