Understanding the Cords:

-Set autopilot to ALT and make a left or right level banking turn. Engage autopilot and make sure there are no terrain conflicts around you.
-UTM coordinates provided by JTAC will be two letters and six numbers.
-Set right MFCD to CDU Page.
-Make sure STEER PT switch on AAP Panel is set to FLT PLAN.
-Enter the WAYPOINT Page by hitting OSB 16
-Hit OSB 10 to switch from L/L to UTM
-Enter coordinates into the CDU window or UFC WITHOUT SPACES
-Hit OSB 16 to enter the UTM coordinates into the computer
-Hit OSB 9 to select number present to mark as your new target waypoint
-Use the CDU window or UFC keypad to give new waypoint a name and hit OSB 7 to change the name.
-Set STEER PT dial on the AAP from FLT PLAN to Mission
-With HUD as SOI, DMS UP or UFC STEER rocker to cycle to new waypoint.
-New target waypoint shows up on the TAD and HUD.

Instead of hitting the OSB buttons on the MCFD you can use the LSK buttons on the CDU Window, it is up to you.

also, be aware of the Grid 37T/38T , 37T Always will be coastline, while 38T, Coastline

here it its from all over the world

L/L Cords

For entering cords on L/L (Latitude,Longitude) its as simple as puting the Cords whit the Letters

I like this method because it is quick and very easy. You do not need JTAC to give you UTM coordinates and most settings are there by default. L/L coordinates are shown in the top left corner of the F10 screen and you can change them by moving your mouse cursor. If you want to create a waypoint where a unit is located or somewhere arbitrary, simply press F10, move your mouse where you want the waypoint, copy down the L/L coordinates and enter them in the waypoint page. Extremely useful if you can see the target in F10 and don't want to hunt around too much with the TGP.

Steps on creating a new waypoint
-Set AAP Page dial to OTHER and select CDU page on the right MFCD. The waypoint page should be shown on default.
-Enter the elevation of the new waypoint using the UFC or CDU keypad. Hit OSB 18 or the LSK to set the elevation.
-Enter the latitude of the new waypoint using the UFC or CDU keypad. Hit OSB 17 or the LSK to set the latitude. N or S is entered first and no spaces are required.
-Enter the longitude of the new waypoint using the UFC or CDU keypad. Hit OSB 16 or the LSK to set the latitude. N or S is entered first and no spaces are required.
-Enter desired new waypoint name and hit OSB 7 or the LSK.
-Set STEER PT dial on AAP page to mission.
-Set HUD as SOI and DMS UP/DOWN to new waypoint.
-Flight path marker on HUD will show vector to waypoint.
-The TAD page will show the new waypoint.

If you created a waypoint from a ground unit's L/L location, it will be close but not exact. You will need to do some searching around the waypoint to find the unit's exact location.





JTAC - EagleWiki 2651


Description:
A JTAC is a soldier trained and qualified to provide control for attack resources such as artillery, naval fires, and close air support. The position combines the historically-separate roles of controlling artillery, naval fires, close air support (CAS), etc. as well as standardizes practices across branches of the US Armed Forces and participating NATO countries. A pilot or other flight crew acting as an Airborne Forward Air Controller (FAC(A)) will hold a JTAC qualification.

Communication :
Primary communication between CAS asset and a JTAC is voice over AM/FM VHF radio. Secondary communication may include datalink message(s) over the SADL/EPLRS data network.

Type in Effect (JP 3-09.3, page xv)

Type in effect specifies the level of control used during the attack.

Type 1 control is used when the JTAC must visually acquire the attacking aircraft and the target for each attack.

Type 2 control is used when the JTAC requires control of individual attacks and any or all of the conditions exist: JTAC is unable to visually acquire the attacking aircraft at weapons release, JTAC is unable to visually acquire the target, and/or the attacking aircraft is unable to acquire the mark/target prior to weapons release.

Type 3 control is used when the JTAC requires the ability to provide clearance for multiple attacks within a single engagement subject to specific attack restrictions, and any or all of the conditions exist: JTAC is unable to visually acquire the attacking aircraft at weapons release; JTAC is unable to visually acquire the target; and/or the attacking aircraft is unable to acquire the mark/target prior to weapons release.

9-Line Brief:
The 9-Line Brief is a standardized format delivered from the JTAC to the pilot that specifies the necessary parameters of the attack including target location, directions to fly, friendly positions, and threats.

Here is the Radio tutorial for contacting JTAC: http://www.mediafire.com/?blepjxbdn21luir
