Distance Reductions: Repeat Readings, Slope to Horizontal and Correction Factors
This lesson is part of the course
In this lesson
You average three slope readings per leg and judge their spread, reduce the mean slope distance to the horizontal with the vertical angle, look up a temperature correction in ppm from a fictional card and apply it together with a fictional scale factor.
