| the OT factor is used to determine the L/R deviation correction. |
|
|
Term
| How do you determine the OT factor? |
|
Definition
To determine the OT factor when the OT range is greater than 1000 meters, the range from the observer to the target (OT distance) is divided by 1000 and expressed as a whole number. If it ends in a .5 round to the nearest even whole number i.e. 1.5 is 2
For an OT range less than 1000 meters, the distance is divided by 1000 and expressed as a decimal/number i.e. .7 |
