Often In The Understanding Of The Events Leading To Casualties In Small Craft, It Is Useful To Know Both The Reconstructed Path Of The Centroid Of The Craft In The x-Y Plane As Well As Its Rotational Behavior Around The Z Axis. Precise Global Positioning System Measurements Can Provide Such Information. This Paper Describes The Use Of Such Measurements, And The Inferences Drawn From Them, In A Case Where The Craft Was Available For Empirical Testing Under Various Velocity Regimes While Planning And In Its Maximum-Turn Maneuvering Regime
