BTW, "PLOP" already has a definition as a "pressure line of position" derived by measuring the absolute altitude of the plane with a radar altimeter and finding the difference between it and the pressure altitude and then you multiply by a coriolis factor based on your latitude and your airspeed which then gives you the displacement from the course line where you then plot the PLOP.
