    Re: Azimuth line of position
    From: Andrés Ruiz
    Date: 2010 Dec 15, 12:02 +0100

    I want to thank to Antoine for giving me the pleasant opportunity to study this atypical case.

    The azimuth line of position is defined by the angle j and the distance e in the same way as in a Marcq LoP. The parameters of this line are calculated as follow:

     

    DroiteAzimuth( Zo, Zc,  h,  B, *e, *J )

    {

       a = sqrt(SQ(TAN(h)*SIN(Z))+SQ(TAN(B)-TAN(h)*COS(Z)));

          

       *e = (Zo-Zc)/a;

       *J = ACOS( TAN(h)*SIN(Z)/a );

    }

     

    A fix by a ZLop and a MSH LoP :

     

     

     

    An example (see LoPZ.png ).

    The azimuth has an error of -2º.

    The altitude LoP is:

    Be = 43.316666 º =  43º 19.0'
