GREAT CIRCLE SAILING LAT A TO LAT B

A V

Cos DIST =Cos P * Cos lat A * Cos lat B + Sin lat A * Sin lat B
IF lat A AND lat B same name THEN ( + ) IF lat A AND lat B contrary name THEN ( - )

INITIAL COURSE

Cos A = Cos PB - Cos AP * Cos AB Sin AP * Sin AB Cos B = Cos PA - Cos BP * Cos BA Sin BP * Sin BA

FINAL COURSE VERTEX

Cos lat V = Cos lat A * Sin Initial Course Tan D'long to V = 1 Sin lat A * Tan Initial Course
P

Latitude at a longitude L
B L

Tan Lat L =

Tan Lat A * Sin D'long B Tan Lat B * Sin D'long A Sin D'long AB
V = 90

TOWARDS AWAY

if TZD less then CZD if TZD greater then CZD

A = Tan lat Tan P

B = Tan dec sin P

Name same as Dec

Tan Az = (A+B) (A-B)

1 C. Cos lat

Name opposite to Lat A

Add if same name subtract if opposite name

If LHA less than 90 and more than 270

LHA between 000 - 180 THEN P = LHA

LHA between 180 - 360 THEN P = 360 - LHA

AMPLITUDE

Sin amp = sin dec cos lat Cos co = D'lat Dist Tan co = Dep D'lat

Sin co = Dep Dist

Cos m'lat = Dep D'long

Tan co =

( D'long ) ( DMP )
