Detailed Description

This class produces an "efficient" implementation of a local axis frame mapped onto ECEF or lat-lon-alt coordinates.

The local axis frame is not exactly squarely mapped; some fudging is done (parabolic correction) to ensure that height above the terrain is approximately correct. Note that there are still deviations; 60 NM lead to a height error of approximately 7 m (versus 900 m uncorrected!). This approximation is good enough for flying around a single airport. Otherwise, consider ECEF coordinates for your simulation and use those
