I would let my self the luxury of being sneaky...

Let the time from 1st Reading to 2nd Reading be 3 minuttes and 15 seconds......

You will be able to cross check speed on the plot and the final computation

SqRot 136067 = 368 meters per 3 min 15 sec would equal 3,6 knots (knowing that that does not represent the ACTUAL correct number in this example as angle 2nd Reading would have been about 360 or more for the extra 15 seconds.

You could then quickly plot it on the map and check to see if your final speed and Range calculations look good.

But a very cool and thorough sheet you made there....I should make them draggable in the Attack Peri view..

The only thing you did wrong was to time the readings at 3 min's - Instead time them at 3 min 15 sec. and you will have straight Knot calculation in the end.
