Class - TACAN

<< feature >> AIXM_v.5.1.1.AIXM.AIXM Features.Navaids Points.Navaids
<<feature>> A UHF Tactical Air Navigation beacon. A navigation system developed by military and naval forces providing, as far as the navigating pilot is concerned and for suitably equipped aircraft, the same indication as a VOR/DME system.

Inheritance

This is a specialization of the NavaidEquipment class and it inherits all attributes and associations of that class.

List of attributes

Name Data Type Definition  
channel CodeTACANChannelType A code indicating the channel of the TACAN system.  
declination ValMagneticVariationType The angular difference between the direction of the 'zero bearing' indicated by the station and the direction of the True North.  
designator CodeNavaidDesignatorType The identifying code given to the navaid. Inherited from NavaidEquipment
name TextNameType The long name given to the navaid equipment. Inherited from NavaidEquipment
emissionClass CodeRadioEmissionType A code indicating the type of emission, as defined at the 1979 ITU World Administrative Radio Conference. Inherited from NavaidEquipment
mobile CodeYesNoType Indicates if the navaid equipment is mobile. Inherited from NavaidEquipment
magneticVariation ValMagneticVariationType The measured angle between Magnetic North and True North at the VOR and at the time reported in dateMagneticVariation. By convention, the measure is expressed as a positive number if Magnetic North is to the east of True North and negative if Magnetic North is to the west of True North. Therefore, magnetic bearing + magnetic variation = true bearing. The following rule of thumb applies: ""variation east-magnetic least, variation west-magnetic best"". Inherited from NavaidEquipment
magneticVariationAccuracy ValAngleType The accuracy of the measured angle between Magnetic North and True North at the VOR and at the time reported in dateMagneticVariation Inherited from NavaidEquipment
dateMagneticVariation DateYearType The year the magnetic variation was measured. Inherited from NavaidEquipment
flightChecked CodeYesNoType Indicates if the navaid equipment has been flight checked. Inherited from NavaidEquipment
