Extract

The need for the rapid reduction of astro-sights has been constantly stressed for use in high speed aircraft outside radio coverage. The method described here is a combination of precomputation of altitudes and graphical representation of intercept from a given position. By this method a fix can be plotted at the instant of time for which it has been precomputed.
