Coordinate convention for use with crash location probability

tables for commercial and general aviation

Often, the location of a facility is expressed in terms of the distance, R, and bearing, ,

from the facility to the airfield. For purposes of this standard, it is appropriate to

assume that these measurements represent the distance and bearing from the corner

of the facility closest to the runway to the center of the relevant runway. To determine

the x,y values of the facility in the specified coordinate system, apply Equations B-1

and B-2.
