9. Take a depth reading and mark the LL directly below the receiver’s display screen. If the
FLP is to the left or right of the previous marks—indicating some steering action—locate
the RLP as described in the next steps to verify proper positioning of the LL between the
Locate Points.
If the bore path is straight, do I have to keep finding the RLP for every rod?
No. If a new FLP is directly in line with the previously marked FLPs (a straight bore line), it is
unnecessary to find a new RLP since it will be directly in line with the previous marks. After the drill
head moves forward another rod, find the new FLP and then the LL.
