TD 7 Flashcards
EXPLAIN THE FOUR FUNCTIONAL MODES OF OPERATION FOR THE AN/ARN-153.
R: bearing to the surface beacon, course deviation, and to-from information
TR: slant-range distance to the selected TACAN surface station, bearing, and course deviation.
AAR: same as R except information is received from a properly equipped TACAN aircraft
AATR: In this mode, the bearing and distance information is received from a TACAN properly equipped aircraft. Use either pre assigned channel pairings or establish channel pairing with a 63 Channel separation. IF the interrogated aircraft is not properly equipped with bearing production equipment, only distance information is received in the AATTR mode. The TACAN will respond to interrogations in this mode which provides distance to the interrogator.

WHAT ARE THE STANDARDS FOR TASK 1184: RESPOND TO INADVERTENT INSTRUMENT METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (IIMC)?
Standards:
Announce “IMC”, maintain proper aircraft control and make the transition to instrument flight immediately.
Immediately initiate a climb.
Continue IIMC recover procedures as follows:
Attitude: Level the wings and adjust pitch for desired A/S while maintaining the A/C in trim.
Heading: Maintain heading; turn only to avoid known obstacles.
TQ: Maintain climb PWR until reaching appropriate cruise altitude.
Airspeed: Adjust to appropriate climb airspeed
Altitude: Climb to a minimum safe altitude (3,500’) as prescribed by DOD flip , local regulation or SOP after establishing Aircraft control.
Contact ATC, as required. Comply with ATC instructions and complete the IIMC recover IAW local regulations and SOP.
TASK 1184
DISCUSS THE TWO NAVIGATIONAL MODES FOR THE TACAN.
TCN Mode: provides lateral guidance to track a selected TACAN course. Course information is entered through the CDU
TCNP Mode: The TCNP (TACAN point-to-point) provides guidance to fly a direct path to a selected TACAN radial and DME distance. The TACAN radial and DME distance is entered on the TACAN control page.
