The Australian Aviation Theory Forum is a place for student pilots to ask questions, discuss CASA theory exams and share knowledge about RPL/PPL, CPL, IREX and recreational aviation study.
Regarding conic projections, the description above figure 1.23 and 1.24 on pg 13 read to me that the standard parallels should be indicated one set below what they are indicated as by figure 1.23, figure 1.24 seems to contradict 1.23 immediately, demonstrating that the standard parallels indicated by 1.23 would actually represent the outer and second-most outer parallels in 1.23.
Image hopefully explains it better than I could, please correct me if I am wrong, I feel like I'm not understanding a basic concept
Hi c411m,
You are correct, there is an error with fig 1.23. Your red lines are correct. Well spotted. I'll pass onto the team.
Cheers W
The diagram 1.23 has been amended for the next print of the book.
