TGP HADF FAIL 9
-
hi.
I had been practicing AGM with SNIPER pod as SOI. whenever I try to initiate handoff I always always get this failure. both in TE & campaign. I have tried restarting handoff by TMS down slewing the cursor and again TMS up. but no use. I tried switching off and on the TGP but in vain. what am I doing wrong? -
That’s normal for the first time, when “synchronizing” TGP with AGM seeker head, see TO-BMS1F-16CM-34-1-1 manual , page 198., step 13 .
So, system is not prepared out of the box, you need to process “handoff” for left and right launcher (LAU) once , then shutdown AGM’s until over the target area , conserve batteries.
13\. TGP or FCR or HUD SOI – TMS Up to designate target. If TGP is SOI then move on to 14\. WPN page, else: (a) After POINT Tracking target WPN page may remain in HANDOFF IN PROGRESS (b) AVIONICS FAULT lights up, PFLD shows TGP HADF FAIL, MASTER CAUTION light comes on
