Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. has chosen the L-3 Avionics Systems tactical air navigation system for PC-9M turboprop trainers flown by the Bulgarian Air Force. The L-3 TACAN will allow the aircraft to track four ground stations simultaneously in range and two in bearing. The TACAN receiver/transmitter model RT-1634(V) will display data directly onto the PC-9’s head-up displays so the information can be used for air-to-air and air-to-ground operations. Pilots will be able to display one, two or both TACAN-tuned stations simultaneously.
