LOPs


Subject: LOPs

There should be no confusion with the running fix since both original and
final LOPs are labeled with time on top and bearing angle on the bottom. A
dashed line showing distance run (D=ST) is constructed parallel to the DR
course defining how far the original LOP must be advanced. The final LOP is
labelled with both original and final LOP time. An R FIX is constructed when
the time difference between original and final LOPs is greated than 20
minutes otherwise it is treated as a normal FIX.
