Is any one aware of a set of tables and/or a
formula whereby one can make adjustments directly to the LOP/intercept in order
to accomodate the speed and track of a moving observer?
AP 3270, the British equivalent to HO 249 has a set
of tables called "Altitude Corrections for Change in Positon of Observer". The
entry arguments are ground speed in knots and relative bearing of the observed
body. It's a neat little table except it is of no use for marine applications
because the lowest speed given is 50 knots.
