Gary, On April 11 you posted a message with a link to AFPAM 11-216, which at the time worked ok. I saved it for later use, but now I see the page no longer exists. Therefore, I would very much like to receive the PDF download from you. Regarding corrections for flight navigation, you did not mention Rhumb Line Correction. At 500 knots over the North Atlantic, this correction is about equal to the coriolis correction. It is additive to coriolis going one way, and almost cancels it out going the other way. I forget which way does what. I am surprised that no one asked what the Polhemus Computer is. We used to sell them in the 70s, but stopped when we got to where the carrying cases were cracked and the staples in the instruction manuals were rusted. We have at least 100 of these left in storage If anyone wants one, they can email me off line.
