I forgot how to mean an angle set. I only know how to check an angle set to make sure it's within tolerance. Please see the attached file. I check it like this.
FSD - FSR = 2"
BSD - BSR = 3"
(2" + 3") / 2 = 2.5"
I'm < or = to 5", so I'm good.
We have to start writing these angle sets in the field book. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
FS Dir minus BS Dir = angle Dir
FS Rev minus BS Rev = angle Rev
(Angle Dir + Angle Rev)/2
Angle Dir
302-12-34 minus 00-00-23= 302-12-11
Angle Rev
122-12-40 minus 180-00-24= 302-12-16
Mean angle 302-23-13.5
Thanks!
From my attached file.
354?ø44'24" - 0?ø00'00" = 354?ø44'24"
174?ø44'22" - 179?ø59'57" = -5?ø15'35"
(354?ø44'24" + -5?ø15'35") / 2 = 174?ø44'25"
174?ø44'25" + 180?ø00'00" = 354?ø44'25"??
Note: Add 180 degrees to mean angle if Angle Dir is > 180 degrees.

I'm not able to upload my handwritten calculations...
there are at least two ways to do it:
mean the backsights then mean the foresights. M BS minus M FS equals M angle right. I find this method easier in a field book.
the other way is (FS D minus BS D) plus (FS R minus BS R) divided by 2.
It??s really simpler. I??d never bother with -5-15-35
Visually the average should be automatic
354-44-24 D 354-44-25 R
Average the seconds. No brained.
134-47-04 D 134-47-10 R
I??d never see this in a field book.
134-47-04 D -225-12-57 R
