Frederf Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Not sure if it should be the same for both modes but currently TCN and WPT descent guidance is giving different distances with TCN having the steeper approach. In example track waypoint and TCN are colocated. WPT guidance is 30nm while TCN guidance is 24nm. F18WPTTCNDescent.trk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimRobertsen Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 In the Persian map, this number puts you at point of about 5900 feet MSL above the tacan. In the Caucasus map, this number puts you at point about 6600 feet MSL above the tacan. In both maps, this is regardless of the tacan’s elevation, and regardless of whether it is a carrier-tacan and airfield-tacan.

Frederf Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Interesting. That would explain the closer distances. TACAN position is defined inside the airplane data so it knows the station elevation. That ~6kft would be an intentional feature. What I don't understand is why TACAN would have the extra height at end of descent and waypoint would not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimRobertsen Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 What confuses me is why there is a difference between the maps. But, it seems this is correct, for some reason 1 First become an aviator, then become a terminator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman99 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) If this is "correct as is" can someone from ED please explain why? It's all great having something correct, but when we the "customer" questions things, it would actually be helpful if it was explained why it's correct, and how the function in question is supposed to operate. Personally, I'm getting a little tired of "correct as is" without so much as a sentence describing the correct behavior. Just a thought....
