The time of setting for Venus may be interpolated or extrapolated by the above table for the following factors:-
(a) At sea level with no refraction, Z.D. = $ 9 0^{\circ} 0 0^{\prime} $
(b) At sea level for refraction of $ 3 4^{\prime} $ , Z.D. $ = 9 0^{\circ} $ $ 3 4^{\prime} $
(c) At 8,000 feet and no refraction, Z.D. = 91° 28 ' (A.N.T. tables give dim for 8,000 feet)
(d) At 8,000 feet and refraction of $ 4 0^{\prime} $ , Z.D. $ = 9 2^{\circ} $ 08'
The allowance for refraction at 8,000 feet is generous, in that a table in the Air Almanac gives a refraction of about $ 1^{\circ} $ 40' for altitude 8,000 feet, and would make the time of setting much later, since a Z.D. of $ 93^{\circ} $ 08' is then required.
## 4. POSITION LINES FOR SETTING TIMES OF VENUS;
FILE
While the accuracy of data in Section (3), has been verified by various partial checks, it may be argued that since they apply to only one point, the results may be different for other points. To cover this contingency the following lines for equal times of setting (or position lines for given zenith distances at given times) have been calculated. They have been calculated for a height of 8,000 feet (dip 88') but no allowance for refraction. Variations in the times of these position lines for various factors can be allowed for in conjunction with the table in Section (3).

For arguments of G.M.T. in the left hand vertical column, and latitude in the top horizontal row, the body of the table gives longitudes east of Greenwich.
Plotting these values on a chart exhibits quite clearly that Venus would be visible from the aircraft during the whole flight, except for any cloud that might be present.
