I've asked that same question several times in the past and no one has
an answer.
On another releated subject, the online version of H.O 249 still has the errors that I notified the government of 6 months ago, too much of a computer problem to correct?.

I asked this question in an earlier reply to Jeremy (Exercise #9 Star Time), but I think it got buried in all the other discussion so I'll post it as its own topic to see if anyone on the list has a definitive answer for it:229 is just too slow with multiple LOP'sI've never figured out why 229 is LHA-based (instead of being latitude-based as 249 is). Since you're going to use the same assumed latitudes for a fix (or I guess maybe nearby latitudes, if a lot of time passes between fixes) why should you have to flip to a different page in the tables for each fix? Might have something to do with the computer program used to generate the tables, but I'd also assume that the output could be setup in whatever format was desired by the end-user. -- GregR
