Why do the military use TACANs, why not VOR/DME?
Why do the military use TACANs and not VOR/DME instead?
My understanding of a TACAN is that it is like a VOR but is UHF rather than VHF (except the DME part which is UHF on both). Does a TACAN have a greater range? Is that why They are used?
Whit the exception of the DME part, do any civilian aircraft have TACAN equipment installed?
