As TACAN is not covered by PANS-AIM no accurcy value is defined for its elevation. However, AIXM provided the possibility to code it using the ElevatedPoint.verticalAccuracy attribute.

Navaid Component

VORTAC

A TACAN may be co-located with VOR. Such a VORTAC will be coded as a Navaid with two correspondning NavaidEquipment instances, a VOR and a TACAN.

For both NavaidEquipment the NavaidComponent.collocationGroup  will be  equal-to '1'.

If the VOR is the navigable location of the navaid when the navaid is used as significant point:

the NavaidComponent.providesNavigableLocation for the VOR will be equal-to 'YES' and the NavaidComponent.providesNavigableLocation for the TACAN will be equal-to 'NO'.

When using a VORTAC for civil purposes, in general, the VOR provides the bearing information, whereas the TACAN is used for the distance information.
