10°/10° Zig-zag Overshoot Check

Contents

Live calculator

First and second overshoot angles in a 10°/10° zig-zag manoeuvre per IMO MSC.137(76): first overshoot ≤ 10° for L/V < 10 s, ≤ (5 + L/2V)° otherwise; second overshoot ≤ 25°.

Formula

$$ \alpha_1 \leq \begin{cases} 10^\circ & L/V < 10 \ 5 + L/2V & 10 \leq L/V < 30 \end{cases}, \quad \alpha_2 \leq 25^\circ $$
