RA TMA distance jump around

To me, this seems reasonable as the TMA guy tries to get an accurate solution again (he has a correct one again after a few minutes).

A jumping solution is the first indicator to go "All stop good quiet" in case the target's new course is not a favourable one for the tracker (i.e., me). (Just like Mancuso does in Red October!)

Sure but this shouldn't happen with manual TMA since the only two things which change the position of the Rule is either ME or the target itself due their speed.
