1 - Navigation Formulae

The document provides navigation formulae for calculating departure, course, distance, azimuth, and other navigational values. It includes formulae for departure based on change in longitude and latitude, calculating course from departure and change in latitude, and distance from change in latitude and course. It also provides trigonometric formulae for calculating values like azimuth from intermediate terms.

Navigation Formulae

NB. These formulae and symbols are for guidance only and other formulae
which give equally valid results are acceptable

Departure = D’Long x Cos Mean Lat

Tan Course = Dep


D’Lat

Distance = D’Lat
Cos Course

Tan course = D’Long


DMP

Cos AB = (Cos P x Sin PA x Sin PB) + (Cos PA x Cos PB)

A = Tan Lat
Tan LHA

B = Tan Dec
Sin LHA

C = A +/- B

Tan Azimuth = 1
C x Cos Lat

Sin Amplitude = Sin Dec


Cos Lat

Sin mid part = Tan adjacent x Tan adjacent

Sin mid part = Cos opposite x Cos opposite
