How can I determine the altitude of an aircraft from my position?
aegean asked:
Hello everyone!
Unfortunately I’m not such a big fan of math and trigonometry so I need your help with this problem:let’s say that I’m out in the field and I observe an aircraft flying.All I know is the angle of the aircraft above the horizon and the distance between my position and the ground position corresponding to the aircraft.How can I determine the height and distance to the aircraft?
Thank you in advance for your help!
