Hello:
In the book 100 problems in Celestial Navigation. In the answer section
problem 1-2 it says "The LOPs have more spread than we would like, but we rate
the reliability as good"
In the perfect world all LOPs would cross at a given point, however the
system is not perfect, therefore when they say it has more spread than they
would like, how much spread is to much? Is there a certain distances that relate
to excellent, very good, good, fair and unuseable?
Do these distances relate to the reliability of the sights.
Thank you.
