Why not?
He's right in the case of a TACAN, wrong in the case of a VORTAC.
Why? What difference does it make to a TACAN-only aircraft if the navaid is
a TACAN or a VORTAC?
I misread it; I thought it was a VOR aircraft.
OK guys, now that we've established that, let me repeat my original
question, which seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle...
Why can't a TACAN-only aircraft hold directly over a TACAN?
Never used one. I have a vague recollection it has something to do with too large
of a zone of ambiuity. Perhaps some Naval flyer can give the specifics.
