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] |

[1 pt] Angle of separation between the points. Minimize drift or movement between measurements. Distance to points - minimize (assuming angle accuracy remains the same). |

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

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. |
