Hello folks:
I am studying for the Navigator grade in the US Power Squadron.
Part of my sight folder is a two object sight that need to be plotted
using law of cosine and using the Nautical Almanac Sight Reduction methods.
The power squadron has a 3 mile tolerance (GPS location vs. fix
position).
My concern is that the 3 mile tolerance is for both Law of
cosine and NASR methods.
It seems to me the NASR would deserve a larger tolerance in that
there are assumed L and Lo positions as starting points
Am I right?
Thank you,
Guy
