the F they ask for is the amount of field of view of your fixed and indicated in form, field of view blocked by clouds or trees whatever, but as a precentage, but then fed into a fancy equation and broken down further - which is pretty over the top IMO.
they have a help page for form

Ok, thanks Fringe_dweller. I'll have a look at the link. I printed out the pages with the formulas on but didn't think they applied so I'll have a closer read. I'm treating it all as part of the learning experience - it would be nice to get it perfect first time but if you don't start somewhere, including mistakes, you never really learn what is the 'right' way.
