Since most ships have a mast height of more than 20m, a difference of 1 m is less than 5%. I guess this is inside the error margin of measuring anyway. |
If it was only that simple. Percentage errors add up. If you have a mastheight error of 5 percent in the recognition manual, and an observation error of 4 percent, the endresult is anywhere within 9%. The error in the end result is not as big as the worst of it's parts. Except when the biggest cause of errors is a magnitude bigger than the rest. Then you can ignore the lesser ones to make it easy on yourself.
