Question 1

NV - What is the convergency calculation on a lamber chart?

Answer 1

Convergency = Change of longitude x sine parallels of origin

Question 2

NV - On a lambert chart outside the standard parallels the scale….

Answer 2

The scale expands outside the standard parallels

Question 3

NV - On a Lambert chart with in the standard parallels the scale…

Answer 3

The scales contract

Question 4

NV - On a lambert chart great circles away from the parallel of origin are curved towards?

Answer 4

Great circles are curved towards the parallel or origin

Question 5

NV - On a lambert chart Rhumb Lines are curved towards?

Answer 5

Rhumb lines one Lambert chart are curved towards the nearest pole.

Question 6

NV - On a lambert conformal chart, great circles are straight lines when?

Answer 6

Great Circles are straight lines around the parallel of origin or if a line crosses the parallel at right angles.

Question 7

NV - Normally where is the projected chart most accurate?

Answer 7

The chart is most accurate where it touches the projection or along the tangential to the reduced earth.
