Class Azimuth

  faa.tg.units.AMeasure
      faa.tg.units.Angle
          faa.tg.units.Azimuth

All Implemented Interfaces:

HasText, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Comparable<AMeasure>

public class Azimuth
extends Angle

 Azimuth represents a wrapper for Angle. Azimuth
 is "The great-circle direction of any place or object
 from a given point." -- DUTTON's Navigation and Piloting
 Most times Azimuth will be stated in azimuth change pulses (ACP)
 Some conversions;
 ACP per radian = 2048/PI
 ACP per degree = 4096/360
 There is a AngleUnits for acp which uses a conversion of PI/2048
