Plotting on a chart
Hi all i was wondering the name of a particular chart, Im new to naval sims so you will have to bear with me while il explane the best i can.
The chart i have seen i beleve is to help you plot a target over a given time by bearing rate and distance to target simlar to TMA, but its a chart that looks like a radar with the a ruler at the bottom that you can draw a line through at various points to show distance over time to give you speed, i saw it around a website as a picture or PDF to download, and i have not seen it since i spotted it in a website at work (Lunch Break ) i am sure it was somthing that was given as an aid or training tool, but i cant be sure, Sorry i cant be more discriptive my knowledge at best is vary low at the moment and im hoping if i can locate this chart it might make my understanding a little easier in the ways of plotting and general trigernometry. Thanks in advance. |

A maneuvering board maybe?
Maneuvering boards are hand. Once you do your TMA, you can use them to do things like plot CPA distance, intercept courses, etc. Last edited by SeaQueen; 09-27-06 at 06:27 PM. |

http://www.waypoints.com/plottingsheet.html You can download the radar navigation and maneuvering board manual from the national geospacial intelligence agency's website. http://www.nga.mil/portal/site/marit...c24fd73927a759 It's actually pretty fun to read if you like geeky navigational stuff... |

Your lucky, I know exactly what web page you mean. Most likely because i use the same Maneuvering board all the time. http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita...14308_ch11.pdf |

IF you look at one of the link to the PDF wich is one of the above posts then you should be able to print off one of those, i think its on page 4 the only problem is that its not quite as big as your proberbly expecting, in wich case it would be nice to have a larger picture possibly a high qaulity JPEG, But as the saying gose beggers cant be chosers (Ie me begging in the first place)

if you send me your address i could send you some plotting sheets we use them to find course and speed distance of track and courss and speeds to intercept the target i will post how you use em but they are a bit dated now not used much modern radar duz it for you |
