    Re: Making an impact with hav-Doniol

    A better image of the corrected plot

    Good pick-up Peter. The plotting sheet is mislabelled. It should read 34° 20' N for Latitude. I did another plot which has the Hav Doniol fix differing by 2 NM from the calculator fix. Your position will not match mine because you did an average of all the morning LOPs. The Hav Doniol reduction is done to 4 places so there are rounding errors. Results are satisfactor considering the LOP cut.

    Greg,

     

    We nicely agree on the azimuth but can you check the AP latitude? (The chart says 34° 24’ but the formulae state 34° 20’) In my original post I used the GPS position as the AP; now I attach the calculation with AP = “Origin of our local coordinate system” at N 34° 24’ and W 119° 40’. My plot comes out the same as can be seen from the LOP intersections with this new AP’s parallel and meridian.
