    Excel is using radian for the calculation. So you should use:

    target bsp = target vmg / cos(target twa*(pi/180))

    Re: Simplified directions to create polars

    Sorry guys. I am pretty inferior with both math and excel and I could not get the formulae to work.

    However, I was able to obtain a pretty fair looking result entering the Polar Edit graphs with the Tgt TWA and Tgt VMG and with a bunch of dragging around I could produce a Tgt BSP parameter.
