A two plane assembly (100) having a first, substantially horizontal plane (140), and a second plane (160) at a compound angle with respect to the first plane, is mounted to a reference surface (112), established by optical or other suitable means. An inclinometer pair (146, 148; 170, 172) is affixed

A two plane assembly (100) having a first, substantially horizontal plane (140), and a second plane (160) at a compound angle with respect to the first plane, is mounted to a reference surface (112), established by optical or other suitable means. An inclinometer pair (146, 148; 170, 172) is affixed to each plane, with each inclinometer of a pair disposed orthogonally with respect to the other. The values from the inclinometers are recorded and the assembly is then mounted to a platform to be aligned. The pitch, roll and azimuth of the platform is adjusted such that the output from each inclinometer agrees with its recorded value, thereby accomplishing platform alignment.

Apparatus for aligning a target surface, adjustable in pitch, roll and azimuth, with respect to a reference surface, comprising: a first plane means including locking means for selectively locking said first plane means to the target surface or the reference surface; a first pair of inclinometers mounted at a predetermined angle with respect to each other to said first plane means; a second plane means mounted to said first plane means at a predetermined compound angle with respect thereto; and, a second pair of inclinometers mounted at a predetermined angle with respect to each other to said second plane means.
