Patch Test – Yaw Line Spacing

Calculate the distance between yaw test lines required to achieve a desired swath overlap at the shallowest point along the lines.

This result is informational only. The line spacing gives the theoretical distance required for the specified overlap at the minimum depth; actual overlap will be greater at deeper points along the lines. MosaicHydro accepts no liability for decisions made based on this tool.
