The standard method of analysing F.47 take-off camera films, described in reference 1, is very laborious. It was developed for use when take-offs were not normally made from runways. Now that most measured take-offs are made from a runway a simpler method of analysis has been introduced. This requires a fixed camera position at a known distance from the centre line of the runway from which the aircraft is taking off. The essential distances for the take-off can then be determined from the azimuth angle on the camera record without measuring the image of the aircraft on the film.
