NavList:

Hello everybody,

I was browsing through the exercises that Jeremy kindly posted on the list back in June. Today I was working out exercise 14 Multi-moon LOP’s and I’ve seen there was no solution posted (if I’m not wrong), so here’s mine.

I’ve averaged the sights and obtained a Hs of 65 deg 59,8’ at 09 09 14 UTC (or 19 09 14 ZT). This yields to a calculated altitude of 65 deg 55,5’ (I use the haversine method and Norie’s tables ‘cause I like working the old way) and to an intercept of 1.3 NM forward. The azimut is 160 deg. Moving back the LOP to 19 00 00 ZT and assuming the intersection between this LOP and the course made good as the most probable position I got a fix at 14 deg 17,0’ N 142 deg 58,5’ E.

Any comments?
