December 15, 200916 yr When in a cell, when does lead pass the AA Tacan to 2? Us heavy guys don't see a cell often, but lately I've been on several locals where we have. Everyone seems to be passing the AA at different times. Couldn't find it in any tanker manuals. Just curious.
December 16, 200916 yr Its really up to the tanker lead. As far as I know, its not really written anywhere. If lead tells you to join on #2 or #3, I would then ask for that tanker to carry the tacan. That way you can get good DME from your tanker.
December 16, 200916 yr Better question: Why do tanker toads need log-in pop ups to read this post? GW Edited December 16, 200916 yr by GW
December 16, 200915 yr As previously said there is nothing written about passing the A/A Tacan over to 2, but technique we've used (In the KC-10) is to assign each cell mate their own A/A freq since we have 2 tacans onboard with A/A capability so long as it is not required for navigation.
December 21, 200915 yr at the schoolhouse we're teaching students to have the second a/c set the a/a tacan so the rcvrs don't get confused. Edited November 13, 201015 yr by schwabbeau
