G'day all,
Quick one - If an aircraft was tracking via lat/long => lat/long and I required him to report an estimate for crossing longitude how would you calculate that point?. Additionally could you calculate the (lat) as well??. Is this the same for crossing latitude?
Example: a/c tracking 50S080E thence 45S070E and I required an estimate for crossing 75E how would you do it??.
Specifically for B747-400 series FMC but all answers welcome.
Thanks in advance.
