A change proposal (AIXM-543) for the next AIXM 5.2 version has been approved by the AIXM Change Control Board, where the attribute tuningFrequencyVHF is added. The coding guidelines provided here are aligned with forward/backward conversion rules contained in the AIXM-543 Change Proposal. |
Position
See topic Navaid Position & Elevation.
Elevation
As the TACAN provides distance information, the elevation of its antenna is relevant. It is coded for the TACAN.location using the ElevatedPoint.elevation attribute.
