DATE 40/6/22
JOB # OBNS322 (33).1.1
LOCATION Bridge/Subsidiary Navigation Console
OPPORTUNITY Navoplex system giving accuracy problems opportunities. When operating in 5-D "QuikFix" mode, produces intermittent (<30%) azimuth errors of average ±4000Vk. While this would not necessarily impede operational safety it raises questions about the integrity of the Navoplex as a whole.
REPORTED BY Yossa gan Hoorg (Navigation Systems)
ACTION None necessary. The QuikFix® mode is designed solely for enroute position reporting and accuracy is well within the tolerances specified by GIT (Galactic Interstellar Traffic) Control. For actual enroute navigation, the system should be engaged in 7-D mode, and for terminal area operations INCLUDING orbital insertion, 13-D "PinPoint" mode should be used.
STATUS OK -- Bom ou Yattatatah (Site Rep., Navoplex Corp.)
