"Enter one minute error in Longitude (roughly 67 n.m)..."

And speaking of finger trouble...

I think you meant to type in one degree, Blacksheep... otherwise the world would be 1,447,200nm in circumference (unless I've hit the wrong buttons on my calculator ).

I'm wondering how long it would take to confuse the IRS's if you only had one minute of error?

Regards.
Q.

P.S. As co-incidence would have it, carrying out a Nav Database load last night on a 767 and experiencing some problems getting the FMC to accept it after a power interrupt half way through... I experienced a Last Position reset to N0000.0/E00000.0. You can bet I was very careful when entering a new position (after reading this message thread).
