Ahhhh Frank, see what I mean---- All these posts, and look at the confusion: The DR is an AP, it's one particular choice of an AP. And tables have nothing to do with it. Has anyone answered the question WHY we use an AP in the intercept method?? To phrase it another way, since we know everything needed to calculate the celestial LOP (the GP's location and the altitude), why not just calculate the LOP directly?
