Sun angle azimuth tables?

[derg]

Only way I’ve known to use it is if you’re running a dead reckoning plot, but that means you’re using a paper chart on a chart table and you’re regularly doing your DR plots and doing sightings periodically. Things that are easy to do when you’re on a ship, but I don’t know of any airliners these days that have the space to do it. Though over the last 20 years they probably have come up with “new” methods of doing celestial navigation on those new fangled electronic charts.

Yeaaaaaaaah, I’m not doing any of that!

Are you using the paper flight plan still? Oh, you Northies.

The dot matrix printer & supply business is a vital component of the US business market.

Don’t you want to do your part?

I grab it, ask the copilot if he’s a paper flight plan Luddite, if not, straight to the grey bag! . Of course flight number, ship number release number and pulling the stew list off so I have somewhere to write the “feed me code”.

OK. My old reliable web site for sun angles https://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/AltAz.php isn't showing up. (I've tried a few times) Does anyone else have a good sun angle site for aerial mapping ?

Yes I noticed that too. I'm planning on finding alternatives myself. However, I have found one site that may help you in producing sun angle azimuth tables it's here:Calculation of sun’s position in the sky for each location on the earth at any time of day [en]

There's a website called suncalc.org , uh, I last used it last fall to decide which section to buy a ticket in for a Dodgers game.
