You are giving advice to a friend on how to take a
three bearing fix.

What would be the key points you would want to
make? [1 pt]

Angle of separation between the points.

Minimize drift or movement between measurements.

Distance to points - minimize (assuming angle accuracy remains the same).

What sort of angles would you want?

-If they were all orthogonal (at right angles to each other) you would get
the most accuracy.



If moving, in what order would you take the LOPs?

-Good question. If moving, take the bearings that move the most last, ie
bearings at right angles to your motion.
