NOTE
Navigation information is now available
from the INS for display on the pilot and
co-pilot RMIs and on the pilot and copi-
lot HSIs, as determined by the COURSE
INDICATOR and RMI select switches.
(8.)
To fly selected INS course:
1.
Pilots COURSE INDICATOR
switch - INS.
2. Pilots RMI select switch - INS.
3. Horizontal Situation Indicators
(pilots and/or copilots HSI) -
Steer toward indicators.
4. CDU ALERT light - Monitor.
Observe illumination approx 1.3
minutes before reaching point for
automatic leg switch. Indicator
flashes on and off after passing a
waypoint, if AUTO-MAN switch
is in MAN.
(9.) Aided TACAN operation:

2.
Data selector - DSRTK/STS.
3. Key 4 - Press. Observe right
data display is 000004 and
INSERT/ADVANCE pushbutton
light is illuminated.
4. INSERT/ADVANCE pushbutton
- Press. Observe right data display

and
INSERT/
ADVANCE pushbutton light is
extinguished.
NOTE
Every 30 seconds, the INS will select next
eligible TACAN station in sequence for
updating. To be eligible, TACAN station
range must be between 5 and 150 nm and
channel between 1 and 126.
5. Data selector - L/L WY PT or
UTM WY PT.
TM 55-1510-221-10
6.
Keys 7 and 9- Press simulta-
neously. Observe channel number
of the TACAN station being used
for navigation flashes on and off.
Data displays indicate coordi-
nates of station selected via thum-
bwheel.
7. To monitor station selection -
Observe FROM-TO data display.
Observe only the number of sta-
tions eligible for mixing will be
displayed. A 0 indicates that
none of the 9 stations are eligible
for selection.
8. Monitor INS UPDATE annun-
ciator.
NOTE
Mixing will not be annunciated if: (a)
TACAN control is inappropriately set; (b)
TACAN station data loaded in error; (c)
aircraft look-down angle is greater than
30; (d) horizontal ground distance is less
than two times the altitude. When 2 min-
utes elapse without an update, the NO
INS UPDATE annunciator will illumi-
nate.
9. To return INS display to normal
- Set data selector to any position
except WYPT or DIS/TIME.
10.
To monitor program of mix - Set
data selector to DSRTK/STS.
(Observe Accuracy Index (AI) will
decrement to 0.)
NOTE
To insure favorable geometry during the
update process, the following TACAN sta-
tion criteria should be observed:
11.
12.
13.
14.
One station must be at least 15
nm off course.
For optimum single TACAN
updating, update should continue
until aircraft has passed the sta-
tion.
F o r o p t i m u m d u a l T A C AN

use one
off-track
TACAN station and one "on-
track station.
For optimum multi-TACAN sta-
tion updating, the stations should
