    Re: Determining the center of the cocked hat
    From: Byron Franklin
    Date: 2010 Nov 22, 11:54 -0800

    The Army note has to be in error. IF all LOPS pass to the right or left and
    they are within 180. How could you be in the triangle.
    I used my Franklin Piloting Tecnique tosee if I could get a fix out of their
    non fix bearings I printed the bearing on to a sheet of paper. Using a protractor I read off the bearings. I use the general placing of the good bearing example above on thier folder to set the A ,B,C, radio finding station at the end of each bearing. That gave me the stations and the cocked hat of the bearings. I used the small intersection of A&B for my Fix and took a bearing from my fix to C finding a five degree EAST error.
    ( the LOP passed to the fix, right,East Error must add to correct.)
    I replotted for a 3 pointer and the correct position. I can not believe they
    use the Bisection or Steiner Point to find the best position.
