Hi i am looking to try calculate the latitude and longitude of a point on the ground with respect to an aircraft which has a lat lon but obviously at a specific height, a azmiuth and elevation look angle and also range to the point on ground ( all known ) .

[latout, lonout] = reckon(lat, lon, rng, az)

e.g from help section

dist = nm2deg(600) % convert nm distance to degrees

dist =
9.9933

pt1 = reckon(51.5,0,dist,315) % northwest is 315 degrees

pt1 =
57.8999 -13.3507

The reckon function seems to do near enough exactly what i want but does not take in account elevation angle ( i.e assumes both points are on the ground)

Is there any function similar that i can achieve being able to add in an elevation angle to the calculation, or change the reckon function in anyway?

Any help much appreciatedHi i am looking to try calculate the latitude and longitude of a point on the ground with respect to an aircraft which has a lat lon but obviously at a specific height, a azmiuth and elevation look angle and also range to the point on ground ( all known ) .
